PERMANENTS EVENTS SECRETARY GONE AWAY 3/05/09
This being my first summer since retirement, I have re-discovered the pleasure of actually having some time to go cycling!! I shall, therefore be heading across the channel avec velo tonight in search of French sunshine and quiet roads, returning in June.
All brevet cards received up to 3rd May have been posted back and the results recorded. Normal permanents validation service will be resumed again in June when I return, with the next batch of recorded brevets going on the AUK web site in mid-June. In the meantime bonne route to all.

Permanents Secretary - and cyclist :-)
