The same one I used to go 19.76 at the Barbican yesterday.....ala Simon Jackson.

Hands on drops, weight through arms, arse forward on saddle. It took me a while to get it right, Jim improved on his first attempt.

you wait till the UCI get hold of roller racing.

can you imagine being ordered into the gents at the horseshoe, so a group of elderly frenchmen can relieve you of some bodily fluid samples?

Wow I never realised I posted a 20.8 in my heat with Jim. I knew it was a fast one but not that quick.
What a fantastic night that was. Had such a good time
Cheers to all the organisers

It was a great night all round. Should be more like them.

That's the dude who beat Jim having a warm up on the sound system generator bikes in picture 3, he came up just before they had to switch the music off, and started spinning pretty fast... I had a feeling he might be a ringer! A roadie apparently.

Farid please delete forever the picture of me with Chris.
