Burnett, Mike: Mystical Cockney sounding character and all round good bloke. Another ex-Broughty Velo stalwart who ran the club along with Tom Robertson and Sandy Berry in the 1980s. Mike does a lot for the cycling scene especially in race organization and district duties, but his history and private life remain fuzzy which only adds to the whole character. This is further muddled by the fact that he has not appeared to have aged in the 20 years I’ve know him (Mike may disagree!). It has been reliably said that Mike was an English schools hill climb champion though his knee problems and weight make that tough to imagine these days. Mike also helped out by apparently having a nonstop stream of bike parts passing through his hands - he got so many people set up with bikes that a catch phrase evolved: “Hallo mate, want to buy a pair of wheels?”
Brown, Phil: TBD
Berwick, George (aka Seamus McNasty): Legendary long distance, rough stuffer. Lives just across the silvery Tay from Dundee but rarely mixed it with the Dundee boys - was always more on his own or with his old Edinburgh club. Is best known for his epic 24 hour rides, extreme Audax events and rough stuff (see his excellent writing at http://www.rsf.org.uk). However he did manage a good placing just behind Jon Carter and Andy Brewster in a Carnoustie evening APR in 1987.
Black, Steve (aka Steve ‘Bullet’ Black): TBD
Baigrie, Pat Officious chap from Dundee Wheelers. Supposedly rode a bike once in awhile, but preferred donning a blazer, attending district and Scottish Cyclist Union meeting and upsetting and putting off people who wanted to race. Caused Andy Fenwick’s famous Raleigh Banana bike bending caper in 1988 and later that year tried to disqualify me and take away my one pound (!) prize in a time trial for supposedly drafting a guy I’d just caught for two minutes....
