For those that don't know Sonjia broke her ankle on Friday, she's at home her ankle has been plated and bolted together. She'll be off the bike for at least 6 weeks, so she said it'll be quieter on the rides. She has 10 weeks to get back riding and fit for the French trip.

Replying to Robin - I don't think it can have been any of us, because I turned up to HQ at 10am on Sunday, but no one was there - put off by the weather? On my way home a very heavy shower came through. I hope they can trace the car driver, and there would have been plenty of witnesses. Was the cyclist hurt?
I've just received a call from a young chap who witnessed an incident on Sunday where one, of a large group of cyclists, was knocked off their bike by a car, and the offending driver drove away without stopping. This took place at the junction near the Norway at around 11:30. He drove after the vehicle and managed to get the registration - he then went on to contact the police. However, because he took chase he wasn't able to establish which club the cyclist belonged to.
Was it one of our rides? The 9 o'clock ride headed West.
A Happy Christmas to all Wheelers
and great cycling In 2019 * R753

Sad news. Paul Sherwen died on Sunday in his sleep aged only 62. Well respected pro rider in the 70s and 80s on the international scene and well known broadcasting partner of Phill Liggett on ITV's coverage of the Tour de France. One of the small band of Brits who broke into the European scene and rode 7 Tours and commentated on 33 others.
