Back to the Track


Summertime! This means lots of things to lots of people, one thing it means to me is more evening light and Herne Hill velodrome open for "casual" users on Tuesday nights. It was great to be back this week. Met up with Simon and Neil and spent about an hour going round and round in ovals. Tested the new BG saddle for the recently rebuilt, thanks again Simono, "Roberts" and pushed it a bit on a few laps to get some thigh burn.


Whats great about HHV is the range of people who come, 40 somethings trying to hang onto their youth; youngsters being introduced to the idea of track racing; the British youth track team; and old geezers cathing up and having a safe blast on their favourite bike.


The ride back to Battersea is always a wee bit tough but I managed to keep out of the rain until Clapham Common! Pleased to be back on track, as they say up north.

Battersea in April

Natasha & Maddie's House
Sunday 6th April 2008

I cant believe it! After a late Saturday night I was awoken by a Maddie saying "look outside it's snowning!". Didn't quite believe it, but dragged myself out of a place i'd been for barely 6 hours, and yes it was snowing! Still is 1 and 1/2 hours later. So much for the run around the park this morning.
