This is a good read from Michael Wright, very amusing & well written. Made me laugh out loud in places!

I don't know if it was posted up in October 2012 when it was published but I missed it then, and thought I'd share...

haha, that was well written and I can actually see it being encouraging to anyone looking at getting into cycling with a club.

Good stuff; that's a positive piece.

Very good, an entertaining read... but is "Club Cyclisme de Jolibois" the French equivalent of the Jolly Boys' Club? ?

but is "Club Cyclisme de Jolibois" the French equivalent of the Jolly Boys' Club?

It's a made up name, like in all his articles - the photo of the club looks very much like the "Club Sportif de Bellac
section Cyclisme " - http://www.csbellaccyclisme.fr/

Excellent
In someways the story reminds me of some of my early experiences with the Coventry Road Club in the early 1990's.
