I was reading about this old dear the other day...

Which makes my marathon goal for next year feel slightly inadequate.

****ing hell.

"but when asked if he would be back to add to his four Billown titles in
2012, he said he was not sure."

What a fantastic story. Fair play Mr Fenwick, my hat is off.

He lives opposite my parents. As a lad I used to see him coming and
going to meetings with an outfit that I thought he was spannering. I
only realised he was actually still riding in 2004 when I was in the
IOM.
