Good luck to Richie Webster tomorrow when he carries the Olympic flame through Crosby Liverpool. What an honour and well deserved. Will he manage the distance?

Hot weekend.
Awesome weekend for sport if you like it hot (and some do!)
Richie Webster does, as he came second in the Anglesey Ultra. 100 km in 11 hours 55 minutes, 2nd place overall! Great result! Well done.
My good friend Steve Gauler organised his 3rd Broken Spoke Sportive on Sunday, another great success with over 200 riders tackling 2 challenging routes of 56 miles and 85 miles. And he organised great weather as well as some superb food at the feed station. Nice one Steve. Next year?
The North West tri athlon was also on last Sunday. I’ve had no results in as yet for that event but I’m sure reports will be coming in soon.
Well done to everyone who took part in all events including the 16mile Wirral Walk.
Old boys rule.
Just a bit of late news I heard this week. Well done Dave Walton, main man at Wallasey AC. He completed the Majorca Half Iron Man in 5 hours 34 minutes giving him 9th in his age group. Top man! I won’t say how old he is but he is definitely a veteran and showing a clean pair of heels to a few of his younger club mates. Well in Dave.
