It is with great sadness that I have to report that Chris Wilson (aka Willowtrousers) passed away on Friday, aged just 38.
Chris was best known amongst the MTBers as he was one of the first to join the Club when we set up the separate MTB section. He had great bike handling skills having grown up with BMXs and started working hard on his fitness when he joined the Club. Hence he'd also become a regular on the K rides for a while and Kevin had even got Chris into doing some TTs. He'll be remembered especially for his very dry sense of humour and his gentle nature. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone.
The funeral is provisionally planned for next Wednesday at East Riding Crematorium but if anyone would like to go drop me a line and I'll let you know the final details.

As a tribute to Chris and his love of mountain biking, a group of us will be having a collection to purchase a "Chris Wilson Memorial Cup" which will be awarded to a nominated mountain biker (focus is being decided) at our club dinner each year.
