SideshowBob-
That HDiJ article.
On reflection I've realised it would make far more sense to post the article in the Autumn, when let us hope, we can plan for next year's rides. I feel the story may encourage people to go on the 2021 edition of the event.
I apologise if I seem to be teasing readers of this thread, but at least I think I've now established that the article has never been on the forum. If I'm spared it soon will be.

This frame is the same model as the one I was riding on the original Hard Day in January ride in 1959 - mine was a bit smaller, but still too big for me at the time (it still would be).
By chance in the past few days someone mentioned that he had enjoyed reading my article on that original ride (it was in Fellowship News fairly recently) and this caused me to wonder whether it had ever been on this forum. I think the article was originally written for the proposed LFGSS coffee table book which, I believe, never got beyond the discussion stage.
It surprises me that I have never posted it, but I've searched and I can't find it. I don't want to post the same thing twice so I'll leave it a day or so and if no one else finds it I'll post it in the HDiJ thread.
