Good Afternoon for some LOL
Brian Botfield
Oh Well having **flat**d in todays Club 20 Mile TT I ended up riding on the flat tub for several miles which wasn't the best idea the carbon rim has now partially detatched itself from the walls so a chat with HQ Fibre Products looks like it's needed to see if wheel is repaireable if not today is gonna be a very expensive day wheel is a few years old now but replacing a Corima 4 spoke Carbon Wheel is not gonna be cheap if I do have to replace it a switch to deep section is the way i'll probably go

Likely to be the most expensive TT I have ever ridden

Excellent Ride Steve Thanks to the helpers

Well done Steve !!

Well done Steve great result

I think that Steve ought to be awarded an appropriate nickname to represent his recently acquired ability to romp home.

......suggestions on a postcard please.


And by the way, another pat on the Steve's back.

Excellent, Steve.

Presumably Brian wasn't the only one to have difficulties -- what happened to Gary?

Steve 'The Bullet' Bull.

Well done sir, really well done.

I understand that Gary suffered an attack of the Nock
