Roller Race- The final heats will be amazing short races after competitors
have set their qualifying times. "It’s a drama – the gritting of teeth and
twisting of faces, as riders give everything in those 20-something seconds
of each race. Only opera could portray the intensity and drama."
(Therese Bjorn, www.londonmessengers.org)

1900-2100 Qualifiers for Roller Race
2200-2245 Round 1
2345-0015 Quaters & Semi Finals
0115-0145 Finals

The bands are playing in between...ace.

whrs mcr?

ah, now I know where this "scene" everyone keeps talking about is

mcr = manchester

hmm I was wondering why I had never heard of Central Library

fuck you rpm the "scene" is ldn surely? we're just plain simple bike lovers.. no fashion involved

... as opposed to roller races in ldn. Which tend to be covered in Rapha banners.

cool i am oop north this weekend.

i think i will go over and have a look.

might go on the velodrome as well. friday could be a good day.

hey nes. thanks for posting this.

that's 2 out of 55 in the last year....is that a tendency?

'emo punk' ?
i'm happy to remain ignorant about this. it sounds very shouty and bothersome.

Shit yeah.. it's positively Rapha roller racing world domination.. run for your lives!!

I can't afford fashion, but if I hang around some people who can for long enough then maybe I'll be part of the scene?

thanks for the fuck, I'll add it to the collection

Hey Nes, RPM is an Olympic level piss taker... Don't take it to heart, he doesn't mean it...

I was being nice!

NICE, National Institute for Cunt Excellence

fuck off hippy, I am busy starting up my new pressure group to lobby the government about mass produced australian track frames with eastern european branding flooding the market:

Cyclists
Unified
National
Trading
Society

Manufacturers United in Providing Poorly Executed Track Steel

Just started working for a new firm today:

Bicyclists
Of
London,
Logistical
Ordinance
Courier
Key
Services

From my understanding emos are people who I would call goths, but they don't like to be called goths and get very emotional if you call them goths.

I had such an ace time..thanks to everyone that came and thanks masses to the fantastic rollapaluza boys who were amazing.

Results are as follows:

Boys
Winner: Jak Kenton-Spraggan
Second: Ben Staley
Third: James Carlsson
Fourth: The Famous Jason Cattermole

Girls
Winner: Nes
Second: Vanessa
basically vanessa is obviously a winning name..ace..

we could have a ldn v mcr roller-duel.

times...really? i have no idea..and don't really want to know mine..it can't have been good...in fact it wasn't good..however the others were amazing and i could probably find out..and yes it could have been mcr vs ldn if you'd come up for it me dear. next time eh? x xx
