This Weeks Photo: This is how they rode their bikes in the good old days - seat shifters. Comes forward on the flat for TT then push back for climbing. Thanks to Arno for the pic.

Age Grouper of the Week: This weeks age grouper, Bill Worboys, was sent through by Adam Laycock. Bill is the best supporter his son in law Gavin May. Unfortunately Bill has Motor Neurone Disease which means he can no longer go to races to support Gavin. For this reason a big crew of people went with Bill to IM Lanzarote for one more race. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved.
