around Farringdon tonight! It was absolutely shocking, but there were about 30 riders constantly jumping the red lights just down from Smiths of Smithfield tonight. They should all have the testicles removed with a pair of rusty forceps, especially Warrick Spence.

  • I saw them too. Not one of them had a bell, lights or indeed mudguards.
    Shocking.

    Actually I found it very disturbing sprinting round the corner only to see the lights change. I'm sure it contributed to my inability to hang onto the bunch!

    I missed your race Stephen but heard there was a bit of pile up? I only saw the Elites as we'd been out for the day and didn't get there 'til ten past eight. Almost didn't bother because of the torrential rain as I had the wife and baby with me, but glad we braved it as it was a great spectacle seeing all the razzmatazz in the centre of London. My only regret is leaving the damn camera in the car, I wish I'd got one of the pack steaming through the red light!

    Sad for Warrick, I thought he had it in the bag but just couldn't hold out on his own, was great to see him so far out in front for so long though.

    Let's hope they bring it back next year too.



    @Hackers, thanks for withdrawing your ungentlemanly comments, I'm sure you didn't mean them.

    I was really hoping Warrick could hold on, still an awesome gutsy ride. May would have just dropped back into the group much earlier. The way that he just got straight back on it in the group was great to watch!
  • the ride of the night had to be the Le Mans Fold-up thing. that had us cracking up as we sheltered on the rain right by that nasty right hander. good night that. hope it becomes a regular fixture.

    DomT, I thought Warrick would stay away too, he looked so much less laboured than the chasing pack. Some benevolent company in the form of a team mate was probably what was required, well lonely being on the front for the whole show. By my timing his speed dropped rather than theirs increasing. Not that it makes a difference, but you might say he caught them rather than otherwise.

    JonnyW, I didn't see you on Saturday. Have you dyed your hair? I was generally looking for blondes and saw none...

    Theo, I may have seen you, have you got a bright red face and a toothy grin? We were outside of Smiths of Smithfield, I was cradling a pint of beer and the wife was cradling the baby.
