Tejvan: Yes, I remember your ride in 2005 very well! I think I was the start timekeeper that year. Now I am still a member of the A5 Rangers but plying my cycling trade in Chiang Mai, Thailand where I am the coach at the velodrome and also manage to put in some 1000 miles + per month.
Over here there is a great cycling scene and it is the ideal area for winter training: whilst you guys were suffering snow (ie the A5 RCC 10 was cancelled on the Saturday) Ion the same day I had heatstroke and couldn’t ride the national road race at Pichit. If you or anyone else fancies a spot of warm weather training at incredibly low cost then come to Chiang Mai next winter. Beats Majorca any day! Also Tejvan, well done on all your success over the years – I always look for your name in the results! Ian

Great post and well done on the improvement. I still remember the fright I got when he zoomed (and I mean zoomed!) past me in a 10. Gone in the blink of an eye :-p Being part of a club/team is by far the most enjoyable part of cycling for me Incredibly kind and welcoming people who donated old bits and pieces for my first Frankenbike

Lovely post Tejvan and great image of the club room. I can almost smell the tea and cake. As you say these clubs are the lifeblood of the sport, brilliant. Makes me want to start my own cycle club.
