Returned home on Sunday afternoon after completing the Three Shires Ride organised and put on by ScooterNova magazine. Good to see VVC representation there over the weekend. Entrants were able to ride the 125 mile circular route through Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire on the Saturday or Sunday; the majority opting for Saturday with work on Monday.
