1740.0. "cycling clubs in BASINGSTOKE" by UBOHUB::ABLEY_N (NEIL THE YTS YOB!!) Mon Sep 17 1990 13:05

    Hi my name is Neil and I live in BASINGSTOKE in ENGLAND and I enjoy
    cycling very much,  I own a PERRICINNI hand built Italian Frame with
    all Shimano Componentry.
    
    I am serriously thinking of doing the London to Paris bike ride next
    year but I am having second thoughts about it as I am not a member of a
    club and when I go training I get bored very easy and I need a riding
    partner so if you know of any clubs or if you live Basingstoke and like
    cycling please contact ME
    
    Much appreciated NEIL

    Hi Neil,
    
    
    I live in Reading and am a member of Reading CC. There's probably a
    club nearer you; I'll see if I can find out and I'll post an adress
    here if I do. It's certainly worth joining a club; it could introduce
    you to the joys of time-trialling and similar pursuits.
    
    What London-Paris bike ride is this?

1740.3London to ParisODDONE::ABLEY_NNEIL THE YTS YOB!!Fri Sep 21 1990 08:038
    Dear Rod
    
    If you buy the magazine BICYCLE they give you all the information you
    need nearer the time.  Which will be about this time next year.  If you
    are interested i will Fax you the details next Tuesday.
    
    I thought all the clubs would of known about this?
    cheers and keep those wheels turning.
1740.4LONDON TO PARIS MORE INFOPEKING::METALLIPFri Sep 21 1990 12:2519
    Rod
    
    The organiser of the London to Paris is a guy called Mike Ellis.
    Telephone number is 081 897 0572. He will be able to give you all the
    details. His carphone number is 0860 342305.
    
    Just for your interest he also used to organise the London to Paris
    Triathlon but after losing his house in Waverley Road which he had used
    security....
    
    He was also reponsible for the very first outdoor Aerobics display in
    the UK (which also happened in Reading at Palmer Park). Before Jane
    Fonda jumped on the bandwagon.
    
    I also did not know you were a member of Reading CC. What aspect of
    cycling? Time-trials, Audax or what?

    Thanks, but I think it unlikely I'll be on the London to Paris thing.
    
    Re Peter: As of Thursday evening I'm the newsletter editor for Reading
    CC, so I should at least know what's happening! If you want to know my
    interests in cycling, see Matt Johnson's recent topic in Cycle_Racing
    titled "Racers in Other Federations" (love that "other" (and which
    registration topic has the most replies?)).
    
    Are you doing the Reading Team Triathlon again?
