Man down :-( RIP Simon F Barnes

Today’s ride finished with some extended cheeky trails and this seems a fitting tribute to the man himself.

Oh dear, how awful.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

What terribly sad news. I was thinking about him the other day. Like many (in a previous guise) I had more than a few strong debates on here. But, having been welcomed as a guest on a very frosty boggies ride in 2008/9ish it was clear just what a generous and thoughtful person he was, even if that didn’t always come across on here. On that ride, he very kindly found some black ice in front of me which if he’d not, it would have been me on my arse.

Rest in peace, Simon

A real forum legend. RIP.

thanks for letting us know, that’s sad. Like many others I remember him from the forum a long time ago. Pics of people falling off, especially into water, was one of his specialisms i seem to remember.

Yes. We can read dates, but if we only log in every few months, things get missed.
