Recognise anyone? :)

I can't wait for Rollapaluza X...

if Sledgehammer gets dropped again i'll probably piss myself

From memory wasn't this a 'couriers only racing' event??

I'd rather it wasn't TBH!

Yeah, but fakengers can watch :)

bill looks like a young tarantino....

Aido, you are def off my Xmas card list! :-)

He obviously meant this bloke:

Come and see where it all started. DJ's and beer (obviously it is in a pub!).

Watch London's couriers battle it out to be the fastest.

Working couriers only to race.

anyone off here getting down to this? i might swing in there.

Now you can all see the poster!

Here is a clip of what it is like in there, shameless self promotion I know, but it is a good clip none the less.

Horseshoe Roller Race

does that mean only messengers can race the alley-cat, or only messengers in the rollapaluza?

rollapaluza......full details:

Anyone can race the alley cat. Only couriers in the Rollapaluza.

When's the next civilian event? I'm rapidly becoming a non-cycling fat bastard, but would be interested in going head to head with hippy in a 500m who can shovel the most chocolate down their gullet competition.

nice to see that the female winners get less money than male ones... errm

might pop along!

Female winners get winnings in proportion to their entry number.

There are far, far fewer women entrants therefore there are obviously less races ergo less prize money.

Out of the 45 racers that turned up in Manchester there was one woman, she took the pot for just qualifying. Not much cop either economically or for the spectators.

If the entrants were 50% female then the prize pot would be split equally. It is the same as almost every other sport.

thanks for clarifying... :)

she deserved every penny of the 200 quid she got for her 30 second effort, purely for her enthusiasm and encouragement of other riders!!!

I'm meeting an old aquaintance there that I had the pleasure of working with a couple of years back, en ex-enger, i'll look out for ya'll, i'll be naked at the bar - NAKED BAR NAKED BAR NAKED BAR... ahhhhh ha, takes me back to my Cambridge days....hmmmmm

Couriers only, eh?
Have the civilians hurt some feelings?

No feelings hurt.

We will be organising other open events this year.

These have been going on since 1998(99) and back then no one else in London was really interested in joining in with us couriers.

Nevermind that shite, where's the fecking turbo???

I know casper, i'm only pulling your leg. After all it's not the taking part that counts, it's the not winning. X
