Age 54

Daytime occupation. Sort of semi-retired, although I seem to have far less time to spend on the important things in life than I did when fully employed. Must be slowing down.

Nighttime occupation. Much of the same.

The reason I was invited to join the Mid Oxon, when it was first formed, was my renowned prowess as an echelon in windy conditions. It had nothing to do with my girth, more to do with my bike handling skills at covering large sections of the carriageway. These days  when the wind blows I am still in demand to undertake the same task.

Last year I did not do as much as I would have liked due to me contracting Glandular Fever.

Hopefully 2003 will see me back too my old self making others legs hurt as well as my own.                   

Weight:  I cannot reveal as it is governed by the official secrets act.
