Action Now! EU Hands Off Biking

My run was as far as Stop 24 via the Airport Cafe. The Airport was chocked full. I saw about half of them at the services later. I assume my deodorant is the wrong sort as the rest of the centre went to the Blue & White.

The official count was nearer 400 or so I have been informed.   I must be innumerate.

My run ended as unpaid PRO for MAG and the run explaining to the people at Stop 24 why we were doing it. At 1.30pm I managed to get away and went home.

Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
