I'm not even going to think of describing this morning as good. So
Hello one and all. It's dark and hissing down. Normally this is a signal to return to bed with hot

and

but no, not today.
Today is the Lewis Balyckyi Memorial Sportive. A choice of 70 or 100km through Lancashire's finest scenery. Lewis was a local young rider with huge potential to become a pro. Sadly he was in a collision with a van while training and died very young.
My club supports the ride, we have 68 members signed up for today.
The rain is due to ease at 09.00
