i like this quote from the wiki article
"My best memories of those days are of the club runs in Cheshire and Wales - loading someone's saddlebag with horseshoes at the Bangor-on-Dee blacksmith's, fording rivers then lighting fires round which we singed our socks and shrivelled our shoes; riding out to races on Saturday afternoons through busy Liverpool and getting digs[/URL] on say the L1 or L6[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin_Denson#cite_note-6"], then going to the Green Man [pub] for a singsong pint. Those early racing days were often pretty boozy but we were all as keen as mustard and trained and raced hard so that alcohol consumed the night before was quickly eliminated the next day."
Wonder if we'll be telling stories of the rides and drinks we went to on the forum in years to come...
