Newsletter No 23 23/09/04

This will be a vey short newsletter. I've been laid low for the past few days with the lurgy and the weather has been rubbish anyway.

Most of you would have received the email with the terrible news about Andrew Smith. Some of you would have known Andrew. To those who didn't know him, Andrew was a very promising young cyclist who was around for a few years in the mid to late 90's. I rode with him quite a few times and found him to be a very pleasant young man. Graeme Bunn coached Andrew and was impressed by his determination and ability to push himself to the limit.

I am sorry I missed the funeral on Wednesday, but I heard that Ron spoke very eloquently.

Ron and family, I am sure I speak for everyone when I express my condolences for your terrible loss.

Regards

Michael
