Im sorry but Rockstar juiced is the way forward.

It's all about...

Well its only a matter of time until someone posts this

How about..

Re Hotels: Sneak it in. You've just got to get to the counter before they look up, then edge to the lift without your bike breaking cover.

I lock bike outside, check in, then casually take bike to room five minutes later.

every hotel (travel lodge) i have ever stayed in in london (plenty times) i've just walked it up to the counter and check in. never had a problem with the bike, only the fact that i have booked a single room and "i'm sorry sir we dont do single rooms and we dont have anything available".. it always gets sorted eventually when i get the manager, show them my booking and suggest they make me a bed up at their own house.. bike gets forgotten in all this. dandy.

The voice of experience, no doubt. ;)

Finally got my email conformation. says they will contact me on the 11th to tell me if i am amongst the 100 riders competing.

Hotels don't like bikes in the room though TS.

Red Bull is fucking rank and stinks like shit.

This ^

...to both

Innit. And all those other stupid drinks for that matter.

Same here, oh the drama of it all...

Are we required as racers to only use a fixed gear bike, or can we use any other kind of bike. I was thinking of bringing my tri-cycle just to add to the irony of it being a MINI VELODROME.

I think it says somewhere that it has to be a fixed gear bike, might just be able to get away with a unicycle

if you read the link, it says you need a track bike. However, judging from the video you might be able to use risers.

I think the only requirements are a fixed drive train and a sensible gear ratio, not a proper velodrome so I doubt itll matter if youre running risers

it said no conversions too

Seems a bit elitist, theyll let you ride conversions at hh

No carbon allowed

Im pretty sure you get bonus points for crabon

In that case i'll re-attach my slightly broken mock carbon fibre mudguards

I think the whole idea is a crock of shit... However, it does look like a wicked little loop to ride on... Mad fun...

I wonder how the selection process works. Length of beard? Tightness of jeans?

Will there be medals handed out to the winners gold, silver, bronze? Will there be a winners podium also?
