Arrivée est arrivé!

[HK]

HK (29 years a-wheel) and now described as a whipper-snapper 

You started cycling as a toddler? *cough*

Zero cycling day = my first Marlboro AC club run with my Dad. I discounted riding to school as a Raleigh Wayfarer with wicker basket (Christmas present from my Dad) didn't seem hard core enough compared to club riding, particularly with my Dad and the Marlboro AC, with who I still ride with from time to time.

It would make a great front cover to get you ready for the 10 page exposé on Matt's training secrets and philosophies, tales of his epic duels with Flatus and his deep insights on why anything more than 8 speed is wrong.

Maybe a one page special on Matt's beliefs on lighting setups for long time trials.

It'll be a best seller.

tales of his epic duels with Flatus

Can it still be called a duel if mattc was the only person who knew it was taking place?

You'll have to read the article to find out!   

[Ningishzidda]

That guy looks like he's in pain.

I don't think I'll bother with this Audax thing.

[hillbilly]

That guy looks like he's in pain.

You think that's a pained look.  You should see the expression of the person on all fours in front of Matt, just out of shot.

[mattc]

May I remind fellow members of the "Flatus Agreement", and the various materials that we agreed to keep from the public gaze, to protect his real identity.

Was this the reason for the 'Flatus Agreement'?

[Hot Flatus]

I don't think mattc has a 50 mile penis, do you?

You'll have to wait for MJB's 'exposé' article, same as everyone else.

[citoyen]

Sick day in bed brightened by the arrival of the new Arrivée. Yay! Including a report on the 2014 Poor Student - good work turning that around so quickly.

Also a report on the original Windsor-Chester-Windsor, which I shall read with interest, having entered this year's revival edition.

Also a piece with the words "Hummers" and "lumpy" in the title. Standard.

[RichForrest]

I even managed to get a pic in there. That's good going since I've not ridden a 200 since Nov 2011   

[shyumu]

Yay!

Going to have to reschedule this afternoon's appointments...

[hellymedic]

I looked at the LEL finishers' list (p52) and I'm puzzled; why are some names in UPPER CASE? I've seen nothing to explain this.

[ferret]

Mines here too and with added 2014 Handbook, thank you Mr Wigley

Some people may have done their original entry in upper case?

[delthebike]

As well as getting mentioned as a new, AUK, randonneur I could have been second from bottom on the Fixed Wheel Challange with my six points from the Flatlands! 

[Andrew Br]

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

[mmmmartin]

The latest Arrivee came today and I was shocked that it contained my article about my RRTY, which I wrote so long ago that I had (fortunately) forgotten all about it. Now come flooding back all those memories of the cold, dark, rain, and exhaustion. The badge still hangs on the wall and I still look at it about a hundred times a day.

I found your story inspirational and would love to do an RRTY in a few years.  PBP first, then see how I feel about Randonneuring.

[Karla]

Make sure you get a good saddle, good gloves and roomy shoes, otherwise you won't feel anything after PBP 

[Wobbly]

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

[Glover Fan]

Received mine today. A good read.

[caerau]

Same here and got my name in it twice     (new Randonneurs and new Super Randonneurs)


Sad to read about one of our founder members passing on late last year.


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.

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