Editorial

We have a broad mix of articles for you this month with the usual news of forthcoming events as well as tales of others that have already taken place.  The return of Michelin is the headline event in the coming week, a session that was very well received last year when they visited. And looking forward, November Club Night will provide an opportunity for an open forum on all things EKAM; full details will be in the next newsletter. We hope you can make it for what we hope will prove an interesting night.

I don’t keep my bike at home usually, however on this occasion I wasn’t trundling around to the garage to get it at this hour – so it was on the drive. Cover off, and remembering to take off the disc lock, we were off on our way to Dover to join LSM 2025.

A man of great humour and dubious taste, accepted my offer of help with a bike run he had created but was unable to lead. Yes, the curiously talented Mr. Steve Wynne chose ME to lead the evening ride on September 9th 2025.
