On Monday I pedalled down to visit Jeff and deliver the Don Francis Memorial Trophy for which he didn't have enough space in his pannier after the annual lunch. Although Jeff seems very well he is understandably rather miffed to find himself under orders to refrain from cycling and also from driving for a month. As a consequence his garden is in tip-top shape and the grass in his lawn is a uniform 10 mm high across the estate.I wanted to have a photo of him to share and thought he would look good next to the nice car in his driveway. Fortunately he had had the foresight to rummage around in his sock drawer for a pair of socks to match the beautiful automobile, thus avoiding a dreadful fashion faux-pas.

This morning I popped into the Guildhall offices in Kingston to see David Ward and deliver the trophy which had been awarded to him for the highest mileage for a male rider. He clocked up 9199 miles last year to earn this prize.
David is still working hard but is looking forward to retirement when he will be able to commit himself more seriously to cycling. When he is a little older, David would like to be a Wayfarer.

Thankyou Tim for delivering these trophies and reporting back. It all takes time, and we appreciate it.
I hate to think how many miles David will clock up when he retires and has more time!!
