DULWICH COMMON

PRESIDENT Mark is very good at reminding me
WILLIAM WRIGHT to send in this article, and I'm
excellent at putting off writing it
61a Burns House until the last minute. I thought it
Kennington would be easy to put something
SE17 3SX together, what with Jayne Wadsworth's second
020 7735 9605 Transcontinental Race - this time solo! - and rather
a lot of Olympic successes too. Trouble is, when
CHAIRMAN actually sitting down to write it, it's really not easy
ROY SAVERY to think of enough superlatives to do the job justice.

And if I could think of enough grand adjectives -
SECRETARY amazing, brilliant, champions, debonair (begins with
JEREMY WHITE d), excellent, fantastic, great, heroic and so on - then
101 Manor Park it becomes a fairly limiting style of writing. Too
upbeat, the colours too bright to keep clarity, not
London enough light and dark, and the reader starts to lose
SE13 5RQ the wonder and glory of the event because excellence
07565 151457 becomes commonplace. It's so much easier to have
a moan about something. But I won't.
TREASURER
VAL PEACHEY It was great, though - not just having so many riders
63 Beverley Road doing well, but also having every event covered on
the telly! Twenty years ago the BBC thought cycling
Barming was a bit quaint and eccentric. We had to scour the
Maidstone sports listings in the back of newspapers in the vain
Kent ME16 9DU hope they'd print the top three of the previous day's
