Does anyone remember hearing the attached English folk song about the Tour de France? It must have been created by "A.Non" after the 1st world war, as it is a...
Sunday's run is Seldom Seen Farm/Whissendine. Myself, Gill, Bernard and Peter are all elsewhere. Hopefully someone else will peruse the map in advance!...

For those of you not attending the President's ride, can I suggest the normal meeting time at Broughton Astley, with Hallaton for 11's, unless someone else...
Sounds good to me. Gill x ... From: Neil Dixon To: SouthLeicsCTC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 9:15 PM Subject: [SouthLeicsCTC] Sunday For those...
Certainly not, I have no issues with either the President or the DA, Leicester DA has been very good to me over the years, it's just that the venue is on my...
Owing to the fact that Tony and I were unable to complete more than 49Kms of today's Worcestershire and South Cotswold 300, because of the fact neither of us...
If following Tony and myself at ttp://www.paris-brest-paris.org/EN/index.php?showpage=64 you may need to know that my dosier no. is 722, and Tony's is 310. ...
I've attached my progress chart should you wish to access the ACP website yourself. Neil & Tony both left in the 2nd group of 90 Hour riders at 9.50pm, 20 mins...
Neil arrived at Villaines at 8.31 local time. Regards, Peter Witting mailto:peterkwitting@... Tel: 0116 279 2867 The next generation of Hotmail is here...
Tony is going well, ahead of last time and building his margin, reaching Fougeres at 12.09 local time. He was about 1 hour ahead of Neil at the previous...
Neil reached Fougeres just before 2pm local time, about 1 hour 45 minutes after Tony. Tony has now reached Tinteniac and has a good margin of over 10%. Last...
Both Neil and Tony have now reached Tinteniac, just under 30% of the distance. As Tony is now nearly 2 hours ahead of Neil, he is likely to reach Loudeac...
Tony reached Loudeac around 8pm local time. That gave him a margin of 12%. That matches my 1991 margin exactly, though I had the benefit of Tri-bars (now...
Both Neil and Tony reached their most recent controls after Midnight. Neil reached Loudeac just after midnight, with his margin dropping back to 7.5% from 8%...
As expected Tony reached Brest with a reduction in margin from 13% to 9.3% after, I assume, having some sleep time at Carhaix. Neil reached Carhaix at 7.30am...
Neil now at halfway point, also another local rider Roy Cook from Coalville arrived just 30mins ahead of Tony at Brest, no sign as yet of our other friends...
Thanks Gill for update that Neil reached the half-way point at Brest. His margin was back up again to 6.8%, after dropping to 5.4% overnight as result of a...
Both Neil and Tony continue on their return to Paris. Neil reached Carhaix at 18.49 local time. That gives him a 7% margin which is an increase on the 6.8% at...
Neil reached Loudeac at 3am, with his margin dropping from 7% to 4.1%. That might be because he chose to sleep early at Carhaix, when beds available, rather...
Neil appears to be struggling: He reached Tinteniac at 10.38am; and instead of increasing his margin, it had dropped from 4.1% to only 2.5%. He arrived little...
The Fougeres Control was due to close at 16.35 local time, plus allowances for staggered starts. It is now 3 hours after that time and Neil is not shown with a...
After an anxious day, I have to agree with you that Neil has now abandoned, just hoping for news that he is ok. It's now a nail biter until Tony completes...
Thanks Gill. Yes, Tony reached Dreux, the last control before the finish, at 21.54 local time. His margin increased to his largest yet at 14.3%! That leaves...
I am sure we are all delighted for Tony - a tremendous ride. But I feel really gutted for Neil - such a brave ride after all his health problems. I just hope...
