Re: Norman Adams

Also sorry to hear of Normans passing. I remember no one could win the club vets BAR while he was still riding.

Re: Club runs - November 4th

Hi Faye. Has it really been 15 years. How Time flies. Thought that you. Like me, would rather be playing tennis :D As I remember your Bianchi was a really nice bike. I'm sure that a couple of short ride would see you regain your confidence. Apparently fat tyres (28mm) are the way forward for comfort...
