Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

TheScribbler: You may get a chance before then if you're close enough. 2023 is the inaugural UCI cycling world champs in Glasgow; all cycling disciplines racing in the same period, including the para disciplines.

♪♫ Synge ♪♫
OtG - I recognise the name of Hannah Taunton. I've seen her competing in one or two local events and always thought it was amusing that she should run for Taunton AC!

(Looking at powerof10, I see that she and I both ran in the Taunton Half Marathon a few years ago!)

She lives in Taunton too, Synge. She does a fair few local events and often wins First Lady, as you might expect. She's a lovely lass and has done really well to overcome or at least come to terms with her difficulties. Hers is a learning disability, which I had always perceived to be a form of autism, but I don't rightly know.

I saw Hannah Taunton too :-)

Glasgow 2023 is on my list now. I know diddly squat about cycle racing but it’s been thrilling.

cw asked a few pages back if you could get Laura Kenny as you pilot ... well, no.

But you can get her older sister Emma (Trott) to hold you up when you've just finished and your pilot's collapsed on the ground :-)
