Tandems -again!
This time on the road at a circuit near Lancaster. 5m tt and 1 hour crit. Only 5 tandems but really good event. Won by P Hunter / J Gribbin from E Hunter/Ice Man Kappes. E Kenyon / V Posse third.
Ere, and we ad a visit from them Devon lads too. Came 4th I think. Nice lads; you can them smiling int'middle.
The other photo - on proper film mar you - shows organiser Paul McK looking to see what's happening in the bunch - and it's that Paul Hunter stretching his back - again. Meanwhile, Ellen, who has spent all morning turning into Norweigian, smiles for the camera in a vain attempt to get published!

Runner Boy is FAST!
Ex runner Ant Gill showed how fast he really is with a fantastic 10.9 on Scunthorpe track at the weekend. Just once he gets his track tactics sorted this will be one fine sprinter.
Dan the Wolf continued his great form filling his pockets with prize money winning the 5 mile scratch.
