Sad day on the Metre Board , Bill Wright passing on the Starboard side. Hope you are able to come back and row again Bill. You burst onto the scene and achieved some fantastic results. Much respect. Well done Royal.

I believe Bill is now caning the Watt Bike instead of the Erg so we can feel sorry for that now as he unleashes his power :wink:

Thanks for that Chris and Alan.

As Alan says, I can be found most days giving the Wattbike a sound thrashing (a la John Cleese in Fawlty Towers) and then I get on a crank out 20-30 klicks. The parts of the body that get a caning from rowing have finally let me down so I've had to switch disciplines much to my annoyance.

Keep yanking that chain and maybe see you in the Sgt's Mess in February?
