It's been fun the last few years and what with the sun putting it's hat on should be a nice evening

bump as it so close

usual meeting point on west india ave where it meets nth / south colonnade

up again

In

I watched the Lincoln GP this morning and renamed your thread slightly to distinguish from last year's. That is all.

much obliged sir
do watch these short sprint races ? or would you prefer them to be doing 6,000 laps before it begins to float your boat ?

I watch pretty much every race that's on Eurosport. It's all good.

I used to race criteriums and love 'em. Ours weren't mental like Lincoln with it's 2000% cobbled climb up Michaelgate but I certainly appreciate the fast, technical racing.

bump

THIS IS TOMORROW!
JUNE 6th

Well bumped. This was great the last time I went.

My dad used to race crits, they are great.

will you be heading down mr bq ?

this evening peeps

I'm doing my hair..

ill be popping along, looking forward to it

I plan on taking a drive / walk over.

I'll be there. Looks like a boring but, on the plus side, fast circuit!

I'll be there with Vince, and some others. The racing here last year was fast.

I may. I have a thumping headache, but will give it half an hour and if it calms down then I'll ride down.

Meh. Head is still fucking pounding. I'm out :-(

great atmosphere, did anyone else guess the weight of the Cyclist Mag bike?

bummer, shame i missed this. I love canary wharf, its so weird!

Did anyone see the crash towards the end? What happened?

those modern day racing bikes are so unappealing
the sound of the wehels on the tarmac the horrible clunk of the e-gears

and they were so fast it was n't really possible to get a good skinny of the bikes

nice to see lynx, marco and gustav down there last night
how dee doody gents !

2014-Thursday, anyone heading over?

i usually head down
meet you there if the weather is good

I'm racing in it - well, in the corporate have-a-go pre-race. Will be in my forum cap so look out for me. Maybe we could and meet up afterwards to watch the actual race?
