I may of had the Dire Straits song before as a title but couldn’t think of anything else for this topic (could of been Sisters as well as Brothers in Arms). Those of you who are regular readers of this blog will know I am a keen cyclist and clock up many miles in a year on the road. One rather touching thing that happens when you are out on the road is the greeting fellow cyclists give each other. There is a variety of greetings – a hand raised, slight flick of the hand on the handlebars, a nod , a cheery “Good Morning or Afternoon”, “Hi “ or when you overtake someone or get overtaken a full discussion can take place. We all stop for each other if we see someone with a puncture or a mechanical when we are out. Maybe one day there will be a song called “Comrades on the Road” that I could use as a song title.

Picture is of three cycling comrades well above the famous Alpe d’Huez climb- one is much older than the other two!

Will blog on stories, football and other stuff tomorrow!
