Might see you guys at the Rollapaluza.
We will be there around 12:30, put down a time then saunter across the bridge, make our way down the course whilst the race is underway.

well, the cold meats and pinot noir in hospitality were OK!

wicked race, highlights include having a decent chat to Robert Elms and shouting very loudly at Bradley Wiggins.

Well, they sponsor the Tour, so that's good. But they also build new coal-powered electricity stations, which is, on balance, not a good thing. Although they got taken away before I could find out more.

I think that copper was a one off, he was saying that none of the others would have a go 'cos they are all so unfit.

I'd still have a crack at outrunning one on a bike.

The Rollapaluza results have been posted here

If any forumengers have a go, let us (especially the pc operator) know your forum name!
