Just received notification yesterday that my 16th and final World UltraCycling Association Title has been confirmed for 2025. What an amazing way to retire from racing after 27yrs. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on along the way. Hoppo

@robstaton @robstaton - What is going on at our shambles of a club? Any chance of these wages getting sorted?

Very happy with this kind of result at the age of 57. Shouldn't be able to do this at my age and while I'm injured. This is why I was busy @robstaton and couldn't continue our conversation! Sorry mate. UTO WTID

Very pleased with today's training. Over 300km at over 3w/kg and still feel fairly fresh. Hopefully that is now my comfortable all day pace 😀

Thinking of Rick today, on what would've been his 73rd birthday.

Very pleased and proud to have helped @SpinandSprintCC with this cause in October and to have completed the @gg_marathon 🇬🇬 Marathon in 4hr 11min 27s. Just have to take some time to deal with a couple of minor injuries that have cropped up along the way now 😉

Thank you. What a great cap, bringing back lots of memories 😃
This evening saw Karina Bowie-Jackson of Guernsey Velo Club present a 2003 edition red cap on behalf of the RRA to celebrated mile-eater Chris "Hoppo" Hopkinson. This was in recognition of his Pembroke to Great Yarmouth record, riding for Preston Wheelers, in a time of 16.58.02

Banks were bailed out by taxpayers in 2008. Now that we need banks to back us up they are letting everyone down. The government has to underwrite 100% of the risk for banks to give loans. Is it just me, or something is fundamentally wrong?
