Brick to Brix

not long left...

am i in as a volunteer? :)

your help will be much appreciated!

My missus has offered to distribute some tickets at E&C if you still need the help???

Hopefully we should be sorted for volunteers now, but i'll know on the day.

I just sent out the email with all the final details...if anybody who needs it hasn't got it, let me know and i'll send it to you.
Cheers!

I have a helmet cam rig...whadda ya reckon? Yay or nay?

Definately yay....trying to sort a couple too, so the more footage we can get, the better.

trying to sort a helmet cam too, hopefully hd. also just putting it out there that i have 94.3 gear inches (and a rocket pack)

I just rode my BMX from Victoria to Hammersmith as fast as I could and it was not very fucking fast at all, my whole T-shirt is wet from sweat and the fag box in my pocket is damp and deformed.

This race is going to fucking hurt! Whoever wins it deserves a BMW frame.

how fast, dov, how fast ?

25 minutes give or take.

Still smashed past some fool on a genesis flyer though.

Dude thats still fast!

That's about 4.5 miles. You are slow.

My commute on my BMX usually takes 32-35 minutes and it's 8-9 miles.

Is anyone else doing this in full lycra?

your help will be much appreciated!

no problem!

I really wanna gear up for this, but I can't afford to till pay day. I'm going on 30-10 gearing. Slow as fuck. its the taking part that counts!

Don't forget that the race is only part of the day.
All those with big gears are gonna find it a bit harder playing around in the park later on...especially when it's time for the 'Bunnyhop comp' and 'Anything you can do, i can do better'. :)

I had a mental dream about brick2brix™ last night...
I was watching the race from a rooftop (I didn't say this was gonna make any sense), loads of mental riding, RLJ-ing/near misses, etc. Then all of a sudden these riot police show up from nowhere trying to stop riders... En masse the riders get off heir bikes and start pelting the po-po with huge clods of mud/stones/whatever they can find... Police fire back with tear gas and plastic bullets and all the riders disperse... Then (this is where it gets really weird), the po-po start machine-gunning down competitors!?! At this point I'm in the Coach & Horses, I decide it's getting a bit heavy so get out of there sharpish... Just as I'm about 50 metres down the street Shinscar rides into the C&H on his BMX chased by a riot pig and the copper shoots Ray in the back with his machine gun!?! Then Lori and I run into another pub and it's all over the TV and they're showing photofits of the organisers...
Fucking mental!?! :S

Lay off the cheese before bed...

It's the nicotine patches, I've been having insane dreams this week... And I'm also really looking forward to watching you lot on Sunday... :]

Urgh... I had that too. I kept dreaming that I was characters in video games.

Nice work Joe, did you see who won though?

I like the fact that you only think it's starting to ge mental when the machine gunning starts. Tear gas is standard bike police interaction.

All I can say is Ray definitely didn't finish... The race that is... He looked pretty finished when I last saw him...

You forget I live in Brixton, Tommy... Anything goes in the Dirty Sarf... ;]

Can we not make this a bit more exciting....

Random snipers with catapults firing tomatoes, cabbages, tangerines etc?? Keep the riders on their toes
