Good to hear.

Been away and just saw this now. Very sad news indeed. Sincerest condolences to all who knew him!

I never met UJ1, but like Wagger this has hit me hard. Something about loosing one of our small but tight community here!

Justin was a pretty modest and fairly private kind of guy, though he loved a chat and was quite sociable in his own way. He would probably be a bit embarrassed but secretly quite pleased with the kind words expressed on this thread. I know his family have checked it out and appreciate the comments.

Dalai's comment about the "small but tight community on here" is spot on.

Justin's son Simon and a few of Justin's friends went to Bright last week and rode the Alpine Classic as a bit of a memorial ride for UJ1.

A good day and a great tribute to Justin, especially from his son Simon and nephew Lincoln, who both rode the 200 under 10 hours in the poor conditions. Simon also wore a tribute kit and supplied us all with typical UJ1 cycling cap as a memento.

A great and emotional effort from Simon, who intends to go back next year and do it again.

I met Simon at the end of his ride. I pulled out at Tawonga and returned to Bright - not fit enough for the 200 this year, and the early conditions on Mt Buffalo didn't help.
