Manchester to Hull bike ride: Setting off from Manchester at 9.30 sat morning - 3 puncture, a burst tyre, a snapped chain, 2 ipones, a camera, gadget man in the canal. It was now 2.30 and we had covered 5 miles. A further 10 punctures, 6 fallen riders, 3 broken bikes, a smashed breakfast bar and 24 hours later we arrived at Hull GC, I am sure you were presiding over the proceedings ensuring we all had plenty of fun - thanks for the memories - lawnmower, sloggies, divot taker, spain karaoke etc
