Anyone spot the deliberate mistake? An entire article about cycle-touring without once mentioning the Cyclists' Touring Club. It's true what they say about journalists, only more so. -- regards Richard Burton |

An entire article about cycle-touring without once mentioning the Cyclists' Touring Club. I used to manage to strap a tent to my bike and go to nice places without ever subscribing - do they have special member-only facilities like easier hills or sumfink? How mildly interesting. You miss the point: if you're doing an article about cycletouring it hardly makes sense to exclude the biggest, oldest, most experienced organiser of cycle tours. Unless you're a know-nothing journo. Or possibly grossly biassed. It's true what they say about journalists, only more so. Who are 'they', and what do they say? There have been lots of surveys which have concluded that journalists are either the least trusted or next least trusted (after politicians) occupation in the world. |

Unless you're a know-nothing journo. Or possibly grossly biassed. I thought CTC didn't stand for that any more? Maybe the journo thought it better not to mention the group currently headed by Jon road-cycling-is-too-dangerous Snow in an article about road-touring?
