Aside from the putting-faces-to-names angle, it's another jolly good read this month - lots of LEL stuff, though didn't spot any names I recognise from URC in the coverage. Also a nice report on a ride in Russia, incorporating a test of the Hella LED.

Well naturally, but gasping for breath a bit in that shot. You can see the road drops sharply a few feet behind me. The junction where Ian snapped me is at the top of a hill that was steep enough for the front wheel to keep lifting off the ground. It's the same junction where Ian and Lisa Young's tandem is crossing, and where there's a shot of two riders from behind captioned "The Last Porkers".

I see Vernon Levy is in the list of First Time Randonneurs...
Andrew Morris is too; LEL was his first randonnée...

well my viz obviously bust Tim's camera because both the ones he took of me recently weren't in it. I think you have to be in the AUK inner sanctum (or just have 2 bzillion points like Dave) to get in.

A chap took some quite nice ones of me on the Surrey Hills (and then sent them to LSMike...) but obviously I'm not famous enough either. As if doing the Surrey Hills on a recumbent trike is an everyday occurrence.

You do tend to see the same faces cropping up quite often.
On the other hand, I never seem to be on any of the rides that get covered - though the Surrey Hills, which I rode last year and missed this year, got coverage.

Yes, you certainly do have that "I just did that descent in reverse" look. Fair play to you. I'd have looked considerably more out of breath in the same circumstances.

yes I got my photo taken on Box Hill and even an "up AUK" greeting from Tim but zippo foto in the mag
photo? the best I ever got was a plug for my event from El Supremo; two riders from that event are in this month's; I recognise one, it was all a bit of a blur on the day.

Bah!
No no no! I emailed and asked if there were any photos of the blue recumbent, and the kind chap sent me yours. I was flattered to be mistaken for you...
No photo, there isn't even an "official" LEL photo of me though I am on Damons DVD a few times.
this was as close as I got to being in Arrivee; Chris Beynon took it and sent it in but it was turned down in favour of more leading lights (who actually got in twice in that edition!) our club webmaster is less choosy!

In Arrive 89, that is the last one, I noticed several folk have their photos in more than once. I keep meaning to take my camera along and get my own snaps but I am usually too busy trying to keep pace to have time to stop and take pictures !

Argghhh.. your club webmaster needs to be put up against the wall and shot. That has to be the worst abuse of style sheets I have seen for a while. I hate text that dances around and changes size as you are trying to read it..

I think the trick is to a) ride an event that is a bit out of the way. b) have pictures with different scenery in.
They put in some of my pics from June in the last one. Haven't got my copy yet. It should have my name in as a first 200 Randonneur. Anyone want to check for me?
