Hi Jon
yeah,I can vaguely remember talking to you a while back somewhere or
other. Are you in Newcastle?

So you know Lurcher then? Small world eh? And funny to think I get
talked about on club runs! lol
Typical that he's joined i-team whatever-they-are (is that THE rob
hayles?) the same season I rejoin the GS Metro!!!

Tell the baldy b**$$% to get in touch, or better still, get him to
join in on here!

I seen he had rode a hillclimb or two last year,but thought not much
more about it. I will be mainly racing in Scotland again this
year,but will attempt to make a full season of it.

My first event is Border city wheelers hilly 32 on 7th march. Ive
only rode 200miles in 5months,but what the hell- it'll be a lung
searing laugh!

take care

madmicky
