Blimey , massive four car crash right outside our house - Clapham Road - chaos, can’t believe the amount of pedestrians …. and quite a few cyclists , who were determined to get past anyway possible ….. while drivers and passengers still in smoking vehicles screaming ! Wow …..
Looks like everyone is ok though - at least two drivers off in Ambulances … -

Let’s hope all those young kids tell their mates how great riding your bike up steep inclines is …. especially on a cold Sunday morning … !
Hats off to you , enjoyed it but maybe with the less numbers it could have started a tad later …. giving a bit more time for all the folk who ride out to spectate from London Town …. spoke to one regular local cycling supporter who hasn’t missed a Catford for something like twenty years …. he turned up as the results were being compiled on the board …. ! He wasn’t happy ! -
I like watching / listening to the SC4 programmes as a friend , Reinald Ap Gwyned did some of the commentary …. him and his brother Pedraig ( ? ) are both big cyclists …. just a shame they are also musicians ! Great to listen to when they have a kick off argument in Welsh with lots of swearing thrown in …

Ha ! … may have dropped by the pub on the way back from my lovely ride in the park …. Regents defo pulls more the “ straightouttaevans “ aero Canyon / Cervelo/SWorks bro crowd … all taking it a bit too seriously for their own good- ( which does lead to them riding around not giving a monkeys about any one else - red light jumping etc or just North Londoners ! ). …. You’re riding around a park … in a massive concrete city … be grateful we have all of them … ( even if they’re all full of tossers ! )

Fuck off … ! I’ve just had a lovely couple of hours riding round the park - beautiful - leaves turning , deer out - well , for a couple of weeks before the Cull - not much traffic … before rush hour when it’s just a rat run full of SUV’s and mopeds blasting it around ….. it was cracking and as a South Londoner I’m chuffed we have somewhere so nice to ride - away from the SUV’s and mopeds. …… oh ..
plus … I wasn’t doing any high speed stuff ! -

Nice - but fucking freezing - day out to watch the Catford York’s Hill and Becc’s White Lane double ….. couple of tough climbs , great to see a lot of youngsters riding - mainly thanks to Team Cyclopark who brought a bus load …some were super fast - hats off to them …. but both rides said they were down on entrant numbers - like half …. what a shame , especially the York’s Hill ride - the longest established race …. ever !
Hope it was circumstances / a blip … such a great bonkers British thing … ride out to the hills in the freezing cold to watch a load of nutters ( extremely fit nutters - some serious legs on show ) ride up steep hills for two minutes …
Daft ! oh , and fucking freezing ….. -

Agreed …. can we now talk about the time trialing from Zurich… ? !
Blimey , must be a quiet day …
Quite enjoyed the womens race - close timings and pleased ( Hippy ) that Grace Brown won … pretty good year for her ! shame the jersey won’t be seen in competition next year though ….
Great the BBC are showing all riders setting off -

Quebec - I like these French Canadian races ... good courses , climbs and the need to press all the way round the circuit
riders seem to enjoy them and take them seriously .... none of the end of term riding round because they’ve been ordered to ....
....and coverage from the gun ...! top Friday evenings entertainment ... oh , but ... first Kirby , and then “Jez “ Cox to spoil things .... bollox...
Hope Steve Williams can do well on this hill finish ... -
Probably more money than Barclays !
