humble, sharing and inclusive. This is a reflection of Mike as one of its
founders and leaders. Before Mike's race was established, unsupported
endurance cycling events were low-key and only those who looked hard for
them could find them. Mike saw the importance of giving these races more
prominence. He knew that by telling the stories of the riders, more of us would
be inspired to take on bold challenges in cycling or elsewhere in life.
We draw some comfort from knowing that Mike's life made a million lives richer.
The huge crowds of supporters who rode in tribute events all around the world
is proof of that. It is our job now to ensure his good work and inspiration
continues. Mike’s spirit will always be with us.
I don't expect things to get better, they'll just be different from now on.
Fred Peachey Open 25
Dont forget the Club Open 25 is due to be held on 21 st May on
Q25/20 (Harrietsham). At the moment I have just one entry
from the club for the Championship 25 which is included within
this event. Thankfully I do have 17 trusty helpers plus 2 outside
helpers.
I have already booked the hall which is Lenham Community Centre,
good weather has also been requested, so why not come along,
enter the event and enjoy a good morning's entertainment.
