Bye Ibbo!

[David Lombari]

Although never an enjoyable occasion, I thought John?s funeral ceremony was a very dignified way to say goodbye. Dan, Neil and Steve did a great job of talking about their memories of John, as it must have been the hardest thing to do. Well done guys!

The ride the next day was superb, a perfect way to celebrate everything that is good about cycling: good weather, chatting to friends, meeting new people and stopping for the ?occasional? treat and coffee. John would?ve loved it.

For the record???.

The only thing that did kinda spoil it was some rider's attire, white bib longs are definately NOT bling......nor modest!
