The Derny man

We got dernys. You may have heard them droning round the place with a string of sweating and fast pedalling riders behind. They are not the most sophisticated of machines and require a certain touch to start them.

The Velodrome are extremly lucky in having a brilliant mechanic who visits us from time to time to tweak the things and keep them running real sweet. We couldn't do without him - and, he does it out the goodness of his heart too.

The only downside is that Guy, for that is his name, works around the world and comes in direct from Angola or on the way to Kazacstan [or however you spell it!]. Currently Guy is en-route to somewhere round about Madagasgar on the good ship Yum Klumdo of something.

Anyway, here is Guy, posing - as you do at the Velodrome.
