I'm telling you in advance - I'm going to win 😉
Do you ride bikes? I thought you just talked about buying bikes! 😀
These days, sadly that's not far from the truth 🙁
Funny isn't it - I've always had some decent bikes but I've never had as many good/nice ones as I've got now I'm not riding so much. Substitute I guess...
Oooo - might be worth a look. Are they closing the road - on a Saturday night?!?
I'd hope so - seems like doing it in traffic would be proper mental.
I wonder who the pro athletes will be
Riding it on any-given evening in the rush-hour can be 'proper mental' 😉
I wonder who the pro athletes will be
Probably the LVIS crowd - they do think they are very special indeed! 😈
clubber - MemberI'm telling you in advance - I'm going to win
Lolz.
Probably the LVIS crowd - they do think they are very special indeed
Well there's no argument that we have some very 'special' people 😉
Well chris akrigg trounced everyone on the cobble wobble on his modified trials bike
massive sprint power
I've just been contacted by the organiser to represent Bristol as a local hero because of my Rollapaluza win.. Unfortunately away for my brother's 30th in Edniburgh
Then again.. spinning on some rollers is one thing.. going up hill is another.. I'd die halfway up
My sister (AnaNichoola, occasional lurker on here) has been asked to do it after her mini-drome exploits.
Give her a cheer from me as she hopefully sticks to to the hipsters please!
If only I wasn't doing the Dyfi winter Enduro on Sunday!
Give me a shout if you're going, I'm racing 🙂
So gutted about this It's untrue.
I just heard Danny mackaskill is going to be there. If i came last i don't care I'd still probably meet a load of the riders.
Good luck metters!
Danny Macaskill has confirmed.
[b]metters[/b] I'll be cheering you on!
Anyone else from STW racing?
I'll be the tall handsome chap in the crowd - well, slightly above most of the crowd. Say hello if you spot me!
Akrigg, after his performance on the cobble climb in Frome.
Congratulations to metters for taking the win!!
I couldn't stay to the end (6 year old boy had had enough) but here is video from the semi's
