Had a gander through this web site and the Pedal Club Golden Book.
The entry for Ian Steel had me laughing out loud, so much so, I was told to pipe down by SWMBO who was watching some durge on the idiot box.
My highlight in italics below.After a two-day journey, the cyclists arrived in Warsaw, where they were greeted by Marshall Rokossovsky, the commander of the Soviet forces in Poland, who stood sternly behind his desk, knocking back glasses of vodka. Not knowing what they should say, one team member suggested they should simply say “bollocks”. “We said ‘bollocks’, with military precision to the most dangerous man in Poland,” Steel recalled.

This was a weekend ride:

just not this weekend. I hope looking at this on a gloomy winter evening may have a cheering effect.
If people are interested I would be prepared to organise (for next Spring) a forum weekend like this Pedal Club event - as I've said in my report it is an excellent area for riding, conveniently close to Calais. Accomodation is not expensive.
While you're on the Pedal Club website do have a look round - I think you will find the 'Golden Book' entries interesting.
Naturally, anything planned for 2019 has to assume that brexit will not be completely disastrous.
Let me know what you think.
