You are quite right, if one doesn't like it one doesn't have to respond. And I have pretty much come to that conclusion. There seems little prospect of this forum becoming interesting to those whose focus is still on the future, rather than the past. I shall confine myself to the masters racing sub-forum and the other parts of BF that engage with my interest in various aspects of cycling.

Good luck with the pipe, pie and slippers brigade.
