So 'Eli' winks in the knowledge I've been using further desperate measures to try and improve the aesthetic of her disintegrating 44 year old vinyl roof......

Hi folks, unfortunately I won’t be able to make Castle Combe as I’m in hospital. I have some mystery infection that has knocked me for six that they can’t find the cause for - apart from that there is nothing wrong with me (beyond the obvious). I’ll be in hospital for the next two or three days while they carry out more tests. Anyway, I hope it is a great day!

Cheers, Richard

Sorry to hear that Richard.
Get well soon.
Next year then, back in the Elite. It will be the closest big lotus event to the 50th anniversary.

Absolutely Tony, next year will be a big one. One small piece of good news - looks like I’ve swerved a lumbar puncture!

Cheers, Richard

Had one of those whilst sitting, the docs couldn't believe it. Very good for clearing a headache.

Thanks chaps. I don’t think I’m as hardy as Stu! You guys you must make sure to come along next year it is a fun day. And the free lunchtime track sessions are quite fast and don’t require helmets!

Cheers, Richard

Hope you are better soon Richard.
I will be there tomorrow but in the M100 as the weather looks too good not to have the hood down. I'm going to have the usual battle on the M5 with all the holiday traffic as it's half term next week.
Cheers, Phil
