  1. Myself, my siblings and Norry took part in the Macclesfield Bikeathon a
    couple of weeks ago and had much fun. We've been asked by Bob Ellis,
    the organiser, if we'd come to the Chester Bikeathon and help with
    promotion by doing some unicycle marshalling. If anyone else wasnts to
    do it let me know. It's only a 15 mile course and flat at that so it's
    not that difficult. I think our presence as uni marshalls should
    attract a few more two wheeled types and hence get a bit more moolah
    for the hospice.

    Bob's just been on the phone asking if I knew anyone who lived in or
    near Chester who he can use for a bit of publicity...Photo for the
    local rag on a unicycle or sumfink.

    I was thinking maybe Cath or another of the riders from your way might
    want to do it. If so give me a shout or e-mail Bob via the 'website'
    (www.chesterbikeathon.com).

  4. Probably just riding around with a toolkit and pointing people in the
    right direction. I think he's more interested in it from a publicity
    point of view. It's quite a good Unique Selling Point having high vis
    clad unicyclists there on the day.

  14. OK people, last call for the Bikeathon train. Anyone else wishing to pop
    along and do some one wheeled marshalling give us a shout...The date is
    fast approaching. It would be cool to have another person or two as now
    neither my sister or brother can make it.

    It's possible Kit that I can't make it now 🙁 but will know for sure
    later. Is Pete still able to do it ?

    Well, in which case I might see if I can get to Wrexham the night
    before and stay with my sister and then ride to Chester in the morning.
    I'll sort something out anyway.

    Where there's a will etc.

  19. Kit, i should be able to make it but are still worried about my knee
    (gave up on me a few weeks ago) I'm going to get out on Saturday for a
    7 mile ride to see how it feels.

    What time do we need to be there? The site says 10.30 but i guess
    earlier if we are still marshalling?
