There was an old bloke at the trial I was in on Sunday, riding the easy route. As they were short of observers we were marking each other, and he was having a moment on one of the climbs. When he came down he said his nerve had gone a little, banked climbs bothered him more than they used to.
"Must be an age thing!" he said smiling.
He was 72.

In my youth I scoffed at an old duffer on a Matchless (i think it was), took the p!ss out of the bike before the start we did, turned out it was Mick Grant He did show us a thing or two
