THUMBS UP FOR NEW-LOOK MAG Greetings from Virginia in the Free State. I am currently a life member of the Harmony Striders Virginia and Cycling Club, having founded the club way back in 1982. I started my running career in the late 1970’s after being inspired by Ron Clokie, who worked with me at the United Building Society in Durban. Thankfully injury-free, I continue running the shorter distances up to the present day, with PB’s now a long way from my mind.
