The British and European Show 2011

The BMVW made its inaugural ride this past weekend. Roughly 8 miles each way to the British and European Classic Cycle Show 2011. There are plenty of kinks to work out, but I was grinning like an idiot after the ride. This thing is a blast. I ended up in the "European Custom" class, which made sense to me. Unfortunately the judge for the class was a real jerk about it, actually telling me to my face that my participation ribbon would be 'the best thing on that bike'. Whatever, though, the bike drew a crowd all day and everyone else thought it was very cool. I'm just happy it made it there and back and started on a few kicks even when people were watching.
