Yep, for some reason my name wasn't on it. Never mind.

I loved your article James  :thumbsup: I guessed it was you - not hard to work out the identity of the other James mentioned either  ;D

Thanks Caerau, I'm never sure if my ramblings are going to interest anyone else, so glad to hear it was appreciated.   :D

Also some photos from the event here (with apologies for too many pictures of Flaatuus' bum).

I always like to note any Arrivee 'first' - well I think this is the first issue to feature a disc-braked bike on the front cover.
(Very bad habit of mine - to check out the bike before the rider - oh, hallo Steve)  :thumbsup:

Presumably not the first to show someone not doing an audax event.

Not seen it yet but I think we're still awaiting the first recumbent on the front cover...unless this issue is a disc braked recumbent.

My son's friend's mother was very excited to hear her photo is in a magazine. She's not an AUK so hasn't seen it yet. Whether she will still be excited when she does, I can't yet say.

I have a stock of Arrivee copies for sale, and we are doing a special offer for son's friend's mothers.   (Actually, we are not, they are £3 including P&P to UK address, same as for anyone else).  PM me if you want one

All being well, it should be arriving on your doorsteps around the 7th.

Looking upthread, it seems some copies arrived as early as 29 April.

Damn, that's annoying. I've just double-checked in case it was my error but the information is published as supplied - even so, I should have spotted it. Unfortunately, I didn't have as much time to spend on fact-checking as I would have liked.

You're right though, it should say September.

Mr Bond claims we had an exchange in the purest Anglo-Saxon: funny that, because I recall it being distinctly impure. And as for being keen to reciprocate his "hospitality": OH YES.

Pic too. And that's in colour. You do seem to have a very precisely calibrated faffing scale though.

Nice issue, I thought - good balance.
