His cousin Gillian, having suffered from the disease, helped flag the cars away. Nigel views 1994 as a milestone, undertaking a complete reconnaissance of the proposed route, using the Plough at Crews Hill for the first time, and getting involved with the charity for that year, Leukaemia Research Fund. In 1990 Les Mills and Derek Pollock introduced the charity fund-raising aspect of the event. Nigel with his love of maps and the highways of the UK was a natural successor and has continued to evolve the route. Les had devised the route for the first RBRR in 1966 and continued to do so until 1990. Nigel is our route-master, becoming involved when he took over from one of the originators of the event, Les Mills in 1992. He has now taken part 3 times enjoying 100% completion, the last time being with his good friend Dale Barker who of course is the Editor of the Club’s magazine ‘Club Torque’.
