Amazing photos Fred! What a fun night, thanks to the rolla team for organising a great event. The space is great too - Did anyone see that they are doing yoga for cyclists next Monday? - I'll be heading down there for a well needed stretch!

The exact moment when Hillbilly realised it's a big mistake to leave your flies open when you 'go commando' ;)

Who won THEN? :/

Another great night and an exciting end to the league. It couldn't really have been a more tense final.. the whole league decided by 40-odd seconds of pain!

Thanks all for the support, which really does make a difference! Prizes look good, so thanks to Winston and Caspar for those. Looking forward to relaxing a bit, and coming head to head with some of the guys at Herne HIll this summer.

Awesom pics.

Right Marlon...that's it...'epic sit ups fail' is now on! ;)

God thats the most homo-erotic bromantic picture i've ever been in haha!

Wind resistance makes a smidge of difference though :)

Does anyone else get really hungry after rollers?

I normally eat like a horse anyway, but today is ridiculas!

Oh, yeah, who were "behind the bar"?

Pats bar staff on back for your general pleasantness and efficiency

Yeah I only had one session, but woke up this morning practicaly starving!

Are you a Tasmanian?! Fuck me, I talked to you. Hmmpf! Never again. ;)

no mate, why do you think it makes me angry??

does anyone else feel slightly poisoned today? too much lactic acid.

Yeah, I'm a wreck. Srsly.

That was great! Cracking photos again Fred.

Congratulations to Illy and Stelle and everyone else racing, with particular mention to the journalist who got a slower time than me. I had to lose to my fellow racer Simon, as his girlfriend sent him a text saying she wouldn't love him anymore if he didn't win. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

oh and male winner phone snap - I was djing when the other finals were on, boo.

Summer League Winspar!
