their own photo albums
online - I can link to these from the AUK 'photo gallery' if you like, provided I have just one of the pictures to put up as a placeholder then it will be listed in date order as usual, and the caption can include the link to your photo album.

makes it to the palace
By Ian Chadband, Evening Standard 23 March 2005 When Harry Hill meets the Queen tonight, surrounded by a nation's greatest athletes all gathered for a unique reception at Buckingham Palace, perhaps this grand old man may reflect that this is the Olympic homecoming he should have savoured nearly 70 years ago. more...

The following notes have been transcribed (with a few alterations) from the late Andrew Manwell's "Passport of the Routes". At present, these routes are simply circuitous rides. They are not linked in any way to AUK. If there is enough interest, I would like to resurect them as Permanents, but it is felt by some that under the current (stricter) guidelines for Permanents, some may not be manageable in their current state. There are no specific distances noted for the circuits, so if anyone with Autoroute (or similar) is daft enough (sorry keen enough) to work them out, I would be both interested and grateful. Note that in ride 4 (Glendaruel and Tighnabruach), reference is made to Ardgarten YH. I believe this establishment has now closed. Anyway, if you are in that area, have a go. Personally, I have only ridden the Loch Tay circuit (in November; mostly in the rain and the dark). However, some of the routes described form part of routes of other main calendar events which are, or have been run recently. Good luck and enjoy!

Posted at 02:08 PM Read More Mon - June 7, 2004PBP - DVD Damon PeacockDamon Peacock produced a DVD video which many
people have praised. I saw many of the clips which went into it, and I am sure
it is streets ahead of the official ACP video, but as I have seen neither
finished product I cannot really give an informed
opinion.
...I did originally set out to question the reasons why people would undertake such a ride, but I know that I don’t ever ask myself why I do these things. I just started doing long rides and they sort of got out of hand. "I started this style of filming on the Edinburgh London in 2001 and this too has got out of hand. I have never really intended the disc for a wide distribution, as it only really has appeal for those interested in long distance cycling. The music on the disc is copyrighted and if anyone wants to have a version with non-copyright music for public performance then I can oblige."

and WALK round it to
roughly 10 o,clock (with the Ch Elysée at 6.00) and head down the Avenue de la Grande Armée. At the bottom is Porte Dauphin which is the end of Paris proper and you go straight across into the Bois de Boulogne and find the route to Suresnes (signposted). Now it's easy - Posted at 01:49 PM Read More Campsite St QuentinFor me, the campsite is good - I take my worst
tent and my cheap-o sleeping bag, nothing worth stealing, and it has so far been
OK. There have been a selection of Auks. It is Le Parc Etang de Saint Quentin en
Yvelines, phone
30585620.
