I turned up about 7 with a mate and then had to spend the whole evening explaining why anyone would choose to ride fixed. Good night though. The courier race was a bit strange as no one had a clue what was going on including the commentators. The rain was spectacular. The folding race was funny. The propper race was quick. Really took a bit of commitment to take the corners as quickly as they were in the damp conditions. Ace.
How come, with the minimal road closures and a bit of volunteer help, this sort of thing doesnt happen more often?
Hopefull Red Ken can bung some of the cash he's saved buying oil direct from Chavez towards cycle racing in the capital. But then maybe not as that would be competitive sport.
Great night. Roll the tour.
