Very sad news, Mike H was a real source of inspiration & crackin' ambassador for our pastime -
It's not been a good couple of weeks in this respect, I can still vividly recall seeing two Crewe Clarion riders performing CPR on their club-mate Mark on the Mam-Tor audax, then in very quick succession we learn of the tragic loss of other keen audaxers Micky Ina & Tim Wainwright.
Being a forty-somthing I sometimes just roll thru life thinking / hoping that I'll be doing this for years to come & totally taking life for granted.
Life really is a precious gift. 35 is no age despite Mike's impressive palmares. Very Sad.
RIP - Mike, Mark, Micky & Tim
