Cheddar Gorge

Somerset Part 2 After a good nights sleep, we loaded up the bikes with our sights set on Cheddar the famous Cheddar Gorge. I have wanted to ride through the gorge for a few years and never had the opportunity, but when I realised how close we would be camping and saw that Old Apple Cruncher Photography would be taking photos as you pass through the gorge, we had to go. As we neared Cheddar, the…

But [Rosie] was not very good at maneuvering a spindly British bicycle. As "airplane commander," Rosenthal was issued along with a good deal of other matériel, a bicycle for getting around the wide vistas of Thorpe Abbotts. He found himself heavily burdened by all this issue but somehow managed to get himself upon the cycle. He carried a load of gear in one arm, had draped his life preserver around his neck, and set off in the general direction of his quarters.

Rosenthal managed to do pretty well, for he got some distance away from the supply hut and was pedaling his uncertain way along a little dirt road. A shift in the load contributed to a series of unusual course changes which came to a sudden, damp conclusion as Rosenthal, newly issued supplies and bicycle plunged down an embankment into one of those charming little ditches that run along the picturesque rural English roads.

Lying in the water (which was not deep), Lieutenant Rosenthal felt there was only one thing to do in this emergency as he lay there, face up in the ditch: he inflated his Mae West. This was probably the only time during all of the Second World War that a member of the 8th Air Force was thus saved from British waters.

I never posted any photos at the time, but 2023 Boston Halloween Bike Ride!

For the longest time we knew. We knew that every member of Bell’s Hells is A Ticking Timebomb™️.

We were all so caught up in worrying and theorising about “who would snap first and turn on the group” we never even considered this.

A Timebomb has gone off, but it’s not to hurt their friends - instead it is to save them.

Toyota Supra Group A, 1987. Toyota has a long history with the Safari Rally, with seven overall wins in the '80s and '90s with the Celica. They also campaigned with a rally prepared A70 Supra in 1987/88/89. In 1987 the car was naturally aspirated with a 290hp, 3.0 litre 7M' straight 6 engine driving the rear wheels. Driven by Björn Waldegård it led the rally until it overheated on the last day, finishing 3rd. Despite fitting a turbo that boosted the engine to 400hp for the ’88 and ’89 rallies that was the best finish the Supra managed and it was withdrawn in 1989.

I think it's funny if every Voyager au has its own 'delta quadrant' and 'Maquis v Starfleet' circumstance that they're treating with the same level of seriousness and angst. Flight attendant Au but they're experiencing several long layovers and are from two competing airlines. High School Au but they're from different schools on a tense joint overnight trip.
