Shameless, indulgent nostalgia .........

 1986: Wearing a Redmon Cycling Club sweat-shirt

During a slightly overdue tidy-up I came across some photos from the 1980s and 1990s. My apologies for the nostalgic and rather egotistical memories.

Jim and Paul, Max's eldest son 
 
1986 Cycling in Bavaria 
 
 1986 Bavaria: Almost a white shirt – what can he have been thinking of?
