Arrivée est arrivé!

[DrMekon]

Was a good issue. Enjoyed that.

[mmmmartin]

Good issue citoyen.  Nice work.

Should I be worried that I recognised mmmartin brice from his photo on the back cover?

I am more concerned that he isn't correctly equipped - he doesn't have his AUK mudguard sticker

It's on another bike, on the mudguard, obvs.

Enjoyed that very much, lots of variety, thanks citoyen.

Particularly 'enjoyed' Phil W's tale of Wild Atlantic Way - always good to read someone being honest about their experiences, good and bad. That one was a good story to keep in the 'misery bank' when you need to talk yourself out of a dark place. Now I can say to myself at least I haven't got Schemer's Neck with 100km to go and am not doing my best to kill myself by missing the road! A very dark and scary place indeed!

There's a photo showing the back of my head.

Hmmm. My copy hasn't arrived yet.. Does delivery to the north take longer?

I've got no-one called Trumpet on the mailing list.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Just wondering if the Titus Halliwell in the Belgian 600 is the Sergeant Titus?

[D.A.L.E.]

I've got no-one called Trumpet on the mailing list.

Mike - how do I order another copy? I thought there was a link on the aukweb site, but I can't seem to find it.

So did I, very much. Such a pity to have to pack so close to the finish.

I'd make the same decision in the same circumstances again, no matter how tantalising close the finish might seem. The pain, the discomfort, even the tears and emotional roller coaster, to a certain extent you can get through. The moment you start to make bad decisions concerning your own safety; I think you've stepped over a line that should always be respected.

Just wondering if the Titus Halliwell in the Belgian 600 is the Sergeant Titus?

Certainly is.

[wilkyboy]

It's that time of the year again — issue 134 just landed — pics look good 

Now just need to find time to read the words 

[citoyen]

Yep, mine arrived this morning too. Nice looking issue. Good job, Peter.

[wilkyboy]

Nice looking issue. Good job, Peter.

Second that — nice one, Peter 

[Slimline Saxon]

I am in pictures of my last event before the heart attack, thanks Wilkyboy, and a nice write up from John Thompson about the Essex 3Rs which mentions myself and Raymond a few times.

Encouragement to get well and be on the bike before too long as I miss my long distance friends.

[Laid Back Rich]

Yeah nice one Peter, especially the book review on page 9 

Get your Xmas stocking fillers here - all proceeds to RoadPeace!

no paper copy but seen it online;

perhaps the saddest news is that Steve Snook is stepping down as the AAA Man; a million thanks Steve for all your hard work over the years towards the awards and the tangible motivation and enthusiasm you have provided to so many who have aimed for the many and varied awards; you will be an extremely hard act to follow and I hope your successor can do justice to what you have achieved and to the many riders you have inspired

Onwards and UpwAAArds ! three cheers for Steve!

[Kim]

I enjoyed the rough statistics in the latest edition, and I hope nikki OTP has seen it without having to borrow my copy, as it's suffered somewhat from being read while using a turbo trainer^[1]...

My sentiments entirely - well done Steve, and thanks for all the help and encouragement in the last few years !!

[hillbilly]

Indeed.  Steve did a great job developing a range of altitude awards. 

I hope AUK recognises his efforts somehow (he won the helper award in 2010, so something even more "exceptional" could be considered, such as renaming one of the altitude award trophies after him - realise this is unusual when someone is alive, but why not allow him to bask in the glory now?)
