Hi, sorry to post this in here, only just registered so I can't start a thread.
I was cycled past the court on Downham Road last night, and I sat and watched a load of people playing bike polo there.
I have the feeling that some of those people were from this forum. Were you playing last night?
It looks like a great sport, I would love to try it at some point. You lot looked pretty professional though, it looked quite brutal, would a beginner be welcome?
I've only just got into single speed bikes, and my one is only a month old, so I don't want to wreck it. What do I need in terms of equipment for bike polo, obviously a bike, and I guess the mallet. Where can I get either of those, and how much would I expect to have to pay?
Thanks.
Oh and finally how often do you play at Downham road, I only live just round the corner...
Cavendish would be stupid to sign up for it at the moment. He's got a strong team at Columbia and with Boasson Hagen & Renshaw he's got such a good lead out. Going to an all British team would be a step down for him.
It would be great to see Millar, Wiggins, Cav, Thomas in the same team, but after that TdF standard British riders get a bit thin on the ground, and there are no real GC candidates. So do they then fill it up with lesser road racers? convert some of the track racers? allow in non-British racers? [U][/U]
