Hello Old Friends

Well I tried to slip back in unseen but without luck. Paul "Face Break" Martin saw fit to take the micky out of my name. And to think that I was going to let him have a few of my old beer glasses too. He'll have to grovel now.

It was nice to be out riding with you lot again last Saturday. Mr Green took us up "accident hill" where Mick Sutton joined previous crash victims, bomber Harris and Bob himself, on the deck in the mud and the blood and the beer. I got my nice red retro Roberts dirty and was not happy!

It was good to see MOB out looking as cool as a cucumber on the climbs: nothing has changed there then!

I hope to see some of you next Sunday.

Helmets

I've had an enquiry from another club asking do we have any rules (or views) about making the wearing of hard shell helmets compulsory on club social rides (ie not racing) and did we know of other clubs' rules about this matter. I said we didn't and I gave my opinion that I didn't think we should but it would be a good idea to canvass opinion and the experience of others more widely. What do you think?

Sunday's Mountain Bike Ride to Sidlow Bridge

Well it was a Starey ride so what else would you expect?

Would you buy a second hand bike from this gang of ne'er-do-wells captured in Norbury Park?
