When wasting some time on the net I came across the Club’s web site, and so am very pleased to be able to get back into contact with you. A couple of the older members may still remember me, I did a bit of racing back in the seventies in the Ravensthorpe jersey. I am back on two wheels again, but no where near being competition fit, or even club-run fit, but enjoying it. Am in Germany at the moment after many years out in Asia, so now I am a bit closer to home would be good to keep in contact with the club again. If you can figure out a way for me to pay the membership, and buy a jersey, I would be really happy to sport the Ravensthorpe colours on the roads around Munich. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, this e-mail is ok, or I can be contacted by phone on +49 176 17272 155 Cheers, Rob Ward

I am doing it and wondered if anyone was free to join me ! I did it last year, a tough but enjoyable day, well supported and a great challenge. Its on Sunday 3rd August. If you can’t join me does anyone fancy sponsoring me ? Cheers.
