It's taken me three days but I've finally worked out what the crossword theme is.

I have started a thread under freewheeling for the festive 500 discussion.

They don't send out badges anymore, zwift or road...

I knew I should have included a winky face...

Good to see the launch of eBrevets announced on page 6.
Also good to see the article on eBikes. I'm sure that a separate category - up tp200k? - would be of interest to many.
Yes, why not... 2020 has rewritten the rulebooks and the world is changing fast, why not having a separate category for ebikes?

An EC BR? Not after BRECxit!

Has anyone outside of the UK (the Netherlands in particular) received the latest issue yet? Christmas/covid/brexit are not helping speedy expedition of course, but still.

Nope, mine has not arrived yet.

I probably wont get one, as I let my membership lapse this year, its been a few years since my last 200k , and can't see much happening this year really.

bhoot · « **Reply #2710 on:** 04 January, 2021, 11:29:20 pm »

If there is anyone out there not in the UK who has received their Arrivee it would be useful to know. If none have arrived I will contact the printers to check whether they have gone astray.

slugbait · « **Reply #2711 on:** 18 January, 2021, 07:42:56 am »

Nothing here yet (based in the Netherlands, just like Quixoticgeek and Zed43).

Rohnny · « **Reply #2712 on:** 18 January, 2021, 11:44:41 am »

Belgium based: not received.

bhoot · « **Reply #2713 on:** 18 January, 2021, 04:08:13 pm »

Now being queried with the printers. If anyone outside the UK has received their copy please do let me know.

bhoot · « **Reply #2714 on:** 19 January, 2021, 09:58:47 am »

Seems like many members outside of the UK haven't received their copy. It's difficult at this stage to know whether it's an issue with post in each country, whether they are stuck somewhere with Royal Mail in the UK or whether there was an issue at the mailing house used by the printers. Investigations have been initiated.

I got an email about it this morning, and replied. Hopefully my email got through.

Fortunately, deliveries to the EU are going to get easier and speedier with the "Deal", right?

Lightning Phil · « **Reply #2717 on:** 21 January, 2021, 04:00:48 pm »

Years ago I sent a postcard from Tokyo, which reached my mother within 24 hours.

bhoot · « **Reply #2718 on:** 23 January, 2021, 06:53:48 pm »

An update on the overseas deliveries......

I have confirmation from the printer/mailing house that they did get sent out on Dec 3rd, and a few people have told me they have received their copy now. So for now I won't send any replacements as they would probably suffer the same fate.

We have arranged for the copy to be made available on line a bit earlier than normal - so you can find it here

Got two 2020 based articles for Arrivee. However, getting these through the magic cyberspace portal is a bit of a challenge. Tried Mr Editor's address as given on the AUK website (copy & paste deployed to ensure no errors were made) and it's bounced back. Also tried tied to leg of virtual reality pigeon, no luck there. Any suggestions how Mr Editor can be raised? HK

Redlight · « **Reply #2720 on:** 25 January, 2021, 03:45:06 pm »

It's a typo on the AUK web site. The correct address is gedlennox@me.com.

Nice to see a man in his prime on the cover, for a change...

bhoot · « **Reply #2723 on:** 15 March, 2021, 03:33:16 pm »

Hopefully our overseas members will receive their copies this time. I know of at least one that has already made its way to northern Europe, which seems pretty good for a Friday despatch.

Arrived in Groningen (the Netherlands) as well. Two issues, I'll have a nice evening reading up
