[MartinF]

Talk about a surprise!

It was announced in yesterday's newsletter than Ian & Neroli are getting married this weeked.

Talk about keeping it quiet!

Fantastic news, guys. Have a great day & a great honeymoon - don't go breaking anything on the stiff sections

Thanks Martin.

We had an excellent time on Honeymoon - mountain biking a circular (off road) tour round the Lake District. Stunning views, massive descents with some rather long climbs thrown in for good measure. (Hardknott Pass wasn't the hardest climb we did!)

Many thanks to CycleActive (www.cycleactive.co.uk) for putting together a fantastic trip.

Cheers,
Ian.

Good to hear you had a great time - though I'm sure most of the biking must have been in very wet conditions, knowing how it rained here last week.

So is Neroli going to keep her maiden name, become a Long, or even a Blake-Long or Long-Blake?

Just to confuse the banks, payroll, council tax etc, Neroli is going to be traditional and become a Long - despite the short term hassle it must be easier than explaining to people for the rest of your life why you haven't changed your name.
