he Hawk and his faithful companion, Foden the dog, turned out in force to wave off the plucky cyclists tak ing part in this year's London to Brighton charity run, sponsored by the British Heart Foundation. A record 28,000 cyclists took part due to the generous support from the transport firms that delivered the cycles to the start and picked them up in Brighton at the end of the 50-mile run. Indeed many of these transport firms had staff taking part in this arduous journey, all the more valiantly because most were not long-distance cyclists. Of course the Hawk would have loved to have taken part, but a last-minute hitch involving a pair of bicycle clips thwarted him. It is the onerous task that falls to some to stand on the sidelines and cheer, albeit from the snug bar at the Llama and Modem.
