Pickwick Bicycle Club Magazine Volume 15 No.2 October 2018 @7

I will use race radio to speak to the other commissaires and conduct time checks to give
me a good picture of how the race is progressing, allowing me to position service cars so
that all riders have mechanical support. If it’s a good day without riders crashing at the
end of the event, I will return to race headquarters and hear any protests, administer any
fine to riders and await the result from the finish judges. My final job of the day is to
complete the paperwork for the race and submit it to British Cycling. And thank all those
volunteers who made the event possible, then head for home, very often many miles away.

I give grateful thanks to my family for allowing me the time to do something I get
immense pleasure from. Aidan Hegarty (Pruffle) Samuel Pickwick 2018.

Mr. President, We thank you for this wonderful insight into your passion for your past time. Ed.
