That was amazing, thanks for coming down to support our event. I think the format worked well, the riders all seemed to enjoy the fact they were all racing a few more times than usual.

I am going to be on the hunt for sponsors for next ears event very soon & we won't run out of beer again (again).

A bloody enjoyable day I thought & it was great to see so many people at Herne Hill.

Great event, well done Rollapaluza!

Ramaye's hat:

Has anyone pressed charges for his 'holding' technique yet?

Had a good afternoon, well organised, cheers for the beer tokens

Cracking write up.

eight of the best young sprinters in the country stampeding toward the finish line like a heard of wildebeest squeezed into brightly coloured lycra.

Make that seven of the best sprinters and one old chancer. That's actually made my day, I'm thirty effin six. I'm a MAMIL according to my girlfriend :(

Gordo, next season were going to train so hard you will race better than you currently write. Cracking read indeed.

Just to let everyone know, there are two more major, spectator friendly events this year at Herne Hill. The Dave Creasy 6 - Belgium Madison inspired racing, and Muddy Hell, night time cyclo cross.

Muddy Hell was amazingly fun last year. REALLY looking forward to it this year

Some hipstergrams of yesterday. What a great day out. Hope everyone enjoyed it.

Omar - aren't you a beast on the rollers? You should have been out there! Nice photos.

Zoom Gordo, great write up and glad we share the same humour about men pointing guns and asking if you're ready.

Tricky Business,Your girlfriend thinks you're a MAMIL eh? Surely then that make me an OAPIL?

And some first class 'action shot' camera dodging by me.

Some pictures from yesterday, stolen from my own facebook so the quality is a bit meh
