Wish I'd been there today.....confined to Shack duties!!!!

Morgans winning/ability reminds me (very fondly) of Frank Lofthouse, who won the (Jennings etc) Lakes Mountain Tri, a truly Mega Event; Frank also got there by bike (each year I think) and did bike home too....but on one occassion he did (eventually) accept a lift, which did save him trying to bike back to Preston (from Loweswater Village Hall) with a huge 1st Prize Painting strapped to his back....!!
