Raleigh bike for Christmas (second-hand of course) money was tight in those days! Sometime later I got one of those Lucas mileage meters with its annoying click-click-click everytime the front wheel went round. It didn`t stay on the bike very long!
Then when I started cycling again in 1979 and got into touring in 1980 I got one these.
Then of course when Cyclomputes came in I went for the Cateeye ones, and still used them today, the Echo-7 and the Beta-2.
Don`t think I will ever change to all those new thingymajig that nearly all cyclists seem to have nowadays.
I`ve always kept a record of my day ride mileage but sadly these have now been lost, and it was only in 2006 that I started save my yearly mileage again. So when I came across this club I thought if only I had kept a record of all my rides!

I don`t know any of the current cyclist on the list but I do remember Doug Brunwin on the `Roll of Honour` list. Rode with Doug in the early 90`s when I rode with the Forty plus CC.
