OPINION
For Mike
Mon, Apr 03, 2017 13:00

Three years ago I was riding the LVIS Audax in memory of Steve Worland, and yesterday it was for another of the good guys, taken long before their time. And yet again, it was the kind of ride that makes you remember why you do this stuff. Mike would have loved it, and beaten me round by hours, and ridden home to Wales. Ride on.

A very fitting tribute...
It was a smashing day out
and was nice to ride with you, if only for a short time (whilst I grumbled about paying postage for socks!)
Yet another year when I question why I dont ride out to Hill for the first sunday of the month
how's about a Road.cc ride out to Hill? 
Excellent vid Dave.
It seems I need to start Audax riding if that is the food spreadt at feed stations! Scotch eggs!
The Hill WI stop on the Ball Buster is the very best thing ever. In fact all the stops on that ride are fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Nice tribute to a good lad. Dusk til dawn- nothing better
