LES LOWE – MUCH MISSED

 

Recently some riders went off course in an important  (non-TA)  timetrial.

In a forum post-mortem on this mishap, I noticed this poignant comment:

 

  “Didn’t  Les Lowe on his trike used to be  the marshal  at that point on the  course –  where people  got  confused last weekend ?  He’d always be there, bless him! 

 

***********************************************************************************************

Next Weekend – October 7^th/8^th is

LINCOLN WHEELERS TRIKE AND TANDEM WEEKEND

I haven’t heard much about that – I guess Pete Holland  01526 322633 is the best source of information.

 

 

Attached to this edition is the TA EAST PROGRAMME for the forthcoming Winter

I do hope to meet as many members as possible over “The Social Season” (Webmaster’s note: See Calendar)

Best Wishes to You All
