I was there in late 93-94, when Happy Al was chairman but it was more all-day-Sunday rides by then.... I'm still sort-of-in-touch.
People from your day that were still around by then were Paul, Pat, Bruno.
Leon was mechanic at Neil Waltons, The pub across the road from the Bicycle Doctor was the other meeting point....
Great days.
If on the offchance you remember me, I was doing a PGCE in Didsbury and rode a Pearlescent Silver Dave Yates with DX and XT mix, and living with a danish girl in Longsight... Remember some good trips to Wales in very primitive conditions....
