Oh and I can proudly say I have never got public transport back from a MEMWNS evening event
Apart, that is, from the track evening a few short weeks ago. Tomsk rode to and from Chelmsford station that evening and expressed disappointment that he hadn't just continued to the Velodrome.
So, let's weigh up some evidence:
Tomsk:
Respected nationally in AUK as a prodigious rider and organiser of events.
Regular podium placements in AUK annual lists for points, organisation, fixed wheel achievements etc
Rides to and from MEMWNS events often riding 80 plus miles when we end up in places like Mersea and Rowhedge
Does most of his mileage on fixed
Puts up with Tippers_Kiwi for days at a time
Quietly goes about his business without making a fuss about weather, distance etc
Multiple PBP ancien
One of the, if not the, most regular attendees at MEMWNS evenings
Doggers Lane
Rode an extra loop one night while we were in the Cats.
