    Re: my post above no. 11090.

    I'm irritated that the site seems to have edited my carefully thought out paragraphing in a manner which I feel is inferior to my actual submission. It's not obvious to me how to put it back to its original format. Can anyone help with this?

    This is probably because you inadvertently triggered a formatting command in Markdown, e.g. the list feature?

    It shouldn't be too hard to edit; just remove any extraneous characters in front of your last two paragraphs and it should display it normally.

    (I find Markdown a total pain and not helpful at all.)

    Also be aware that post numbering is now dynamic and no longer the same for everyone, i.e. it depends on whom you have on ignore, for instance, how they are numbered.

  • Thanks Oliver,

                              I've just tried to edit the post by deleting it and reposting, but the same ugly and irrelevant reformatting has returned. I can't remove the extraneous characters because when I go to 'edit' the text appears as it was originally.
    
  • Any characters (spaces, apostrophes, asterisks, etc) in front of lines?

    I hope some of you may be interested in my report on last Sunday's Bidlake CC event.

    I think most of you who read this thread would be interested in the Bidlake CC.

    It's a fairly new organisation which has the primary objective of supporting the Bidlake trust.
    Although this may not strike you as particularly interesting, the club's activities could be more up your street. Apart from the time trial mentioned here, the is an excellent bi-monthly magazine which deals mainly with cycle racing history. The magazine is modelled on Coureur (later Sporting Cyclist) which was a great publication in its day and a great source of inspiration for riders of my generation.

    The club consists mainly of second claim members, but it is CTT affiliated and does have some first claim members.
    Perhaps the main attraction is that it's a club with a very high proportion of cycling celebrities in its ranks and these include (in no particular order) Ian Cammish, Martyn Roach, Frank Colden, Alf Engers and Eileen Sheridan. From these names I think you will see that the club is unlikely to get all its members to support a club chain gang, but that there may be other more social possibilities.
