The joys of living in the NE

[Clem]

Last weekend (Easter) was cycle race marshalling on the GS on Saturday

and then Easter Egg Run marshalling on Easter Sunday.

Cycling on the Monday.

Yesterday (Saturday) was up to Weardale for:

Then sunshine today!

Makes it all worthwhile in my opinion.
Skiing on decent snow 45 mins from home at this time of year takes some getting your head round!

Brilliant

Good for me to. I paramotor, kayak, mountain bike and of course ride motorbikes. It's ideal for me but the weather could always be better

Read it and then ignored it. Don't want to waste my energy replying to the comments. I marshal the cycle races as part of the National Escort Group, I get paid a mileage allowance to be out and about on the bike doing something useful and once a year I'm paid to travel to Scotland & Wales, if that makes me a twat in Hi Viz then so be it!

If you enjoy it, and you do, then don't mind others

I'm just a paid twat in Hi Viz in Prudhoe

Blue hi-viz = Durham Advanced
Orange hi-viz = National Escort Group for British Cycling affiliated events
Yellow/Orage hi-viz = National Escort Group for non-BC events (although I haven't had chance to wear this one yet!)

At least I can be a colourful twat!
