Tim's still around, but I don't think he races much now, if at all. I see him occasionally at Notts and Derby League Cyclo-cross races. He comes from a large cycling family, his dad Harry is the treasurer of the League and still races even though he's in his 70's. Tim's brother Julian runs the online bike shop www.zepnat.com.

So, what happened to David Baker?

I seem to remember that he had to stop because of ill health, he then opened a cafe but it became too popular and he packed it in...anyone know what he's doing these days?

Whatever happened to Tony Oliver? Made some of the nicest bicycles around, wrote the most comprehensive book on the touring bicycle (ever?) then disappeared. I once googled him and discovered a photographer in a similar location so perhaps that's what he does now.

Also, wither Richard Ballantine?
