I`ve just come across this www.green-oil.net anybody ever use it?

Have a look at www.tudorsports.co.uk only their longs have just one rear zip pocket.

Can you still buy Black Gold Mountain Bike High Performance chain oil? I bought some many moons ago from the CTC shop before Evans took over, it came in 150ml bottle and cost I think about £5. I`ve only a wee drop left just enough to get me through the winter. It`s the best chain oil I`ve ever used ...

Having ridden with Terry in his Havering Section days I wish him all the best with his motorcycling.

I wonder how many DAs/Section took part in this weekend ladies only cycle ride. In Essex the Havering Section had 11 ladies out aged between 12 and 78, and what lovely weather for cycling they had too.

What`s up Ladies & Gents? All I ever see on this site lately is moans, now its about our CTC mag and our Logo, as the great Bob Dylan sang `the times are a changing` and the CTC and its members need to change too. I`m speaking as a 58 year old who been a CTC member since 1980. Perhaps a bit more...

The CTC do a nice yellow polo shirt with there logo on it.
Many moons ago in the Ron Kitching `Everything cycling` catalogue I bought a polo shirt with 3 rear pockets worn it till it fell to bits. Shame nobody makes them anymore.

The Gravesend to Tilbury Ferry is now up and running or should that be floating.

Essex DA now has another section, the Colchester & Tendring section was formed on January 9th. For rides information please contact the Section Secretary: Pam Nelson pamnelson@ntlworld.com

As a Essex DA/Havering Section member (I think you know who I am Terry) I agree that the Essex DA site could be better and in time I hope it will be. What`s happening in the Essex DA at the moment: well this year is our 80th year of existence for which celebration are being planned, one idea is a ga...

Last March a Havering CTC rider was shot in his right thigh by yobs armed with an air rifle in a white van. The rider rode home some 8 miles then called the police who were not very happy with being called out so late after the attack. The police called an ambulance for our rider and he spent the ni...
