My mates all hid as well...... I must admit it is a bit of a chore helping at events but I still stand on grass verges marshalling races and even organise a local community time trial in the town centre, some one has to do it

There are quite a few in our club who do zilch to help, not even for our come and try it time trials where we need helpers..... we should charge the lazy blighters extra membership fees if they don't occasionally help out.

Epic ride, it's just so, errrr 'British' to do a 12h on a Moulton
Seriously, brilliant, I am in awe!

Its not as difficult it might look to be honest, I was only 17 miles off what I have done on a TCR with tri bars when I had support . A few more retro bikes at events would be nice, there were a couple of old steel machines at the Welsh 12.

On a shorter event it would be difficult to do a 25 minute 10 on the Standard but over longer distances comfort is important and high top speed is not so vital , Moultons are great for obvious reasons but also some of the old steel racers are worth a look.

I had a 1940's racing machine that was great over long flat rides, no twitchy steering just a leisurely float. Currently I am looking out for a similar bike to restore, watching a Hudson [ clubman type thing by the look of it ] on fleabay at the moment that might fit the bill. I will have to sell some old stuff sometime to pay for it though, anyone want to buy a delivery bike?
