Wasn't needed on the Tour de France, so the Ruby acted as the sag wagon for the Hereford V-CC ride. Two tandems are just visible behind the Ruby, causing speculation as to comparable wheelbases, and which machine had the better power to weight ratio.
(The answer to various questions and comments is that I intended to say that the comparisons were between a tandem powered by athletic humans and a saloon car powered by a certain side valve engine. Tandem acceleration into 20s much better, sustained speeds in mid 30s on a hot afternoon better for Ruby)
