My name pops up every now and then. Not sure if that's a good thing tho.

so does mine; but not in the RRTY page where it's been reset to 0 $:-\$

reset to 0? I didn't understand that. If you mean you aren't listed at all, the RRTY stuff is split, so you might be in the Handbook.

I didn't get my name in the RRTY roll of honour

Yes, I seem to have not included you, which seems a shame as a number of your qualifiers will be my events. I'll add you to the website page when I get a moment.

CET Junior was pleased to see his name in the handbook. Which meant a bonus entry for me

Quite a lot of 'loss of concentration' factors in the accidents.

Just wondering what postcards I needed to have sent to which addresses etc. to have been included in the "LEL 2013 on fixed" list in the handbook... I was going through it not expecting to be mentioned, when my hopes were raised/near-simultaneously cruelly dashed..

You need to have included it in your Fixed Wheel Claim. Clicky

We know now, though, so here, have some applause.

I was also morbidly interested to see if an accident that happened behind me on the Buzzard 600 got reported in the accidents list. It was indeed. Good record keeping.

I felt the need to look that one up too, but I'm sure I counted two of us sprawled on the road, not the one recorded.

My ribs still haven't healed seven months on, perhaps I shouldn't have carried on. On the plus side, with the incident report I can claim three mentions!

Some nice articles

and interesting

BUT disappointed not to be listed on 12 Points in 2013 table as definitely have 14 (wow !!_)

James BLAIR Rides listed 6 (1 are perms) Points

14 (2 in perms)

Total Distance

1,545 km or 960 miles.

Could this be due to only joining AUK in June ??

Reg.T · « **Reply #1559 on:** 06 February, 2014, 08:23:08 am »

Which table is that James? I think there's a listing of riders who got 12 or more AAA points, but not for distance points - that's just listed on the website, I think.

jamesld8 · « **Reply #1560 on:** 06 February, 2014, 09:20:25 am »

You`re right Reg !!

I`d got <12 AAA but this year am doing a lot better 10 already

I got my Arriveé mentions mostly by being a nuisance at the AGM

I loved the bit in the WCW 1976 report that said (Harry's) 'lunch of boiled eggs and 2 bottles of stout hadn't agreed with him'

I enjoyed reading that too.
It occurred to me not much has changed since then apart from much better lights these days.
(and lunch is more likely to be a Panini and a latte rather than boiled eggs and stout)

Hot Flatus · « **Reply #1568 on:** 07 February, 2014, 07:21:03 am »

I enjoyed this issue, largely because of Hummers's excellent article.

Does anyone know the location of the Front Cover pic?

It looks like the Snake Pass climb out of Glossop so that would make it the Mid Peak Grimpeur. We get a good turn out from Macclesfield Wheelers, who are the ones in the orange jerseys. I gave this one a miss last year as it was held on the Wednesday after LEL and my involvement was just to pop over to the pub finish control for some further rehydration therapy

That assumes that the photographer actually declared this when submitting to Sheila. Frankly, I think I can guess who that might be

crazy diamond · « **Reply #1574 on:** 08 February, 2014, 06:07:56 pm »

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the Snake out of Glossop, on the Mid Peak last year.
I think the lead group are Claire Hay, Jim Ennis, Alan Whitworth and Des Winterbone.
The others are more difficult to identify, but possibly include two or three Rowsons.
