Excited is an understatement, Ali had driven to JD Cycles and with the bike broken into two, successfully brought it back to Southport. Ali phoned the team "Gentlemen [pause for effect] the Eagle has landed!" We were all delighted and quickly arranged to meet. It was longer than we could recall (no smutty comments please), but took us a good 20 mins to actually get used to the bike. We then spent the best part of approx 1 hour cycling around Southport. Heads turned. We quickly concluded that this was not going to be easy skill to master and has a turning cycle of a HGV! Nevertheless we were now off, our machine was home. In addition our bike appointments had been decided. Ali - No 1 Driver (at the front), Jonathan (No2) Navigation and provider of top banter, Tony (No3) and Mark (No4) hand signals informing Ali if the gears had changed between his legs! There was just a small issue of training but no doubt that could wait for another day!
