Man v Bike

Saw a great video on The Guardian website.  Enjoy pursuit racing between a non-racing cyclist on a super-bike v. an elite cyclist on a range of not so fast steeds, including a London Boris/Ken Bike:

Club Event, 6 July 2013

With apologies for my delay in posting this, here are the results of last weekend's event.  On probably the fastest day of the year so far (sunny n warm with little breeze), it was ironic that road works and traffic lights had been erected on the course at Knowl Hill, just before we started.  Nevertheless some good times were recorded.

While we're all enjoying the Tour de France coverage, here are some further images from the extremely tough time trial that was Stage 6 of this year's Tour of California (see also my post some weeks ago).

First up, Tyler Farrraarrraarr! (as the Italian commentators call him):

Now a video of Juan Antonio Flecha chasing down Paul Voss, I think:

Cameron Meyer:

Andy Schleck. Really irritated by this one because I had a great shot of him face on, but a car drove between us at that moment (so I also have a great shot of a car 5 ft away!)

A BMC rider, I think it's Schaer or possibly Bookwalter.

I hope you enjoyed these images.  See you back in ol' blighty in "the fall".  Harj
