A cracking read, as always, great production values and interesting articles, I particularly liked the novice RRTY account. And my name is in the handbook three times, and I'm dead chuffed with that. I know you're all faster than me, but my name is in the handbook three times.

Welcome to all the new Super Randonneurs - all 120 of them.

As one of those 120, thank you! I only wish I had a P after my name. Oh well, maybe next time…

I had no idea but I just looked and so we are!!
This explains why Pam asked us if we could attend the AGM but we couldn't go as I was working and Simon was with his folks.

It's an excellent issue, as they all have been, as far as I can see. It was great to read articles by the travelling Deano and Jaded. But they are all interesting and there are some superb photographs. Jaded, you need to use more sun-block!

Well done to Sheila.

MattH · « **Reply #938 on:** 04 February, 2012, 10:35:04 am »

Adam managed to get his picture in Arrivee, an entry in the new randonneurs page and in the hall of fame

Jaded · « **Reply #939 on:** 04 February, 2012, 10:58:24 am »

That's at the top of the Gospel Pass - having climbed it in 45mph winds! I usually go red in the face in similar circumstances!!

Karla · « **Reply #940 on:** 04 February, 2012, 12:01:12 pm »

So this is the Dean Clem issue, non? It's like being haunted: Deano is no longer here, yet his spirit is with us in the pages of Arrivee .

Just read mine. Great articles from Deano on Mull It Over (yup I'm biased) and wothills recumbent PBP account, he makes a super fast time sound normal.

There's a picture in there (one of Ivo's, I think) that appears to show a tricyclist, kneeling and using the only hand he's got to "pedal". Puts my occasional aches and pains into perspective somewhat.

MattH · « **Reply #943 on:** 04 February, 2012, 01:49:42 pm »

He was on PBP, and had two arms/hands. I heard that he was out of time at about 400km, so got some rest and turned round and rode home - an epic achievement in itself. I passed him on the way back cranking his way up a big hill on the way to Tinteniac (IIRC) in the middle of the night.

Peter · « **Reply #944 on:** 04 February, 2012, 01:56:45 pm »

Thanks, Matt. By the way, saw the nice picture of Adam at the AGM. Buy him some new trousers, he's growing fast!

Yes, quite amazing, took me a few minutes to realise it was real, not a hallucination.

For as long as I can remember Ive gone through life getting all 3 of my names spelt incorrectly.

The only bit that occasionally gets me annoyed is being referred to as "Graham" especially by e-mail when the sender has alreday received a major clue in my e-mail address. Still, its helped in prioritising entries for events, especially mille alba.

Ian H · « **Reply #948 on:** 04 February, 2012, 10:48:44 pm »

it took about four years to tie my name down correctly.

I get a most entertaining version of our address on the label. The system obviously can't cope with ŷ. The address label says Tŷ'R

Still, it keeps the Post Office on their toes...maybe they can read Unicode
