[quote="99percentchimp"]All the best to Neil and I hope a speedy recovery. Looking forward to a ride round the Dales - happy to try to support it (not been that way since geology field trips and some climbing years ago). It's anticipated that our 200k N York Moors 'thank you' bikepacking r...

Me again. Neil has been released from hospital today and is returning home as I type. I take it that all his notes etc will be transferred to our local hospital 'up north'.

A red Honda Civic travelling at an unbelievably fast speed ploughed into the rear of Neil catapulting him into the...

That's mine, if it's still working (after 3 swimmings over years) I'll gladly donate it for the organiser to use for some 'Happy Snaps' I'm not fussed about getting it back. It's cost a lump of money over the years in repairs and owes me nothing now. It's your call.
