So much on! The bicycle film festival is going to be great, but is anyone else catching part of the ToB this Sunday? I think about 10 guys from my club are racing in the elite series in the morning, so I'll be around somewhere.

And if anyone is going to the film festival... how about drinks before a film? Or after if it's likely to put you to sleep ;)

So sadly they decided to reschedule the Go Race Omnium @ Herne Hill. Wasn't raining but it was cold and windy and the track really didn't feel like drying out.

Its now going to be Sat 23rd September.


buro9 - not too sure if I can make any of the film festival. Drinks are always a good plan though.
