Club Event 4 August 2012

Yet again, the warm weather was absent. To cap it all, the rain started a few minutes into the race. Now, where have I heard that before? Oh yes, at the last event! Once again, it was "soggy scoresheets" time on the line. Let's just call it "enthusiasts' weather".

South Bucks at Olympics TT

We had a fabulous day out in Weybridge, Surrey, with the South Buck CTC, cheering Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome to Gold and Bronze respectively. To give you a flavour of the day, here's a video of the road race Gold medallist Alexander Vinokourov in his colourful TT outfit. Note the young lad with vuvuzela and Wiggo Sideburns at the end of the video (no, not Alan!). I would have put up a video of Wiggins and Froome, but was just too busy cheering.

Gustav Larsson, with the interesting looking Swedish team aero helmet (alien life form?):

And here is a mobile phone picture of Froome and Italian Marco Pinotti:
