It is with deep sadness that we record the death of one of the club’s popular Sunday Riders, Nick Smart. Nick started appearing with club stalwart Leon Evans on a Sunday and quickly became a popular fixture as we headed out from Ruislip on a Sunday morning, often rendezvousing in Uxbridge if we were heading out towards the Thames Valley.

We offer our sincere condolances to his wife Theresa and his son and daughter, Peter and Claire respectively.

Nick, a paramedic and clinical tutor, passed away on Friday night, it was only in February that he was diagnosed with heart issues.

Leon Evans will be compiling tributes from club members, please keep an eye on our Whatsapp group and we also intend to do a Saturday Special Nick Smart Memorial Ride one weekend this summer.
