I just wanted to draw your attention to this article.

Note Sylvain in right in the middle of the first Pic.
N.B. ACC riders won two categories in the final series last year.

To highlight a big point which is made by Brixton Cycles:

"We cannot get to Hog Hill, the interim site in the Borough of Redbridge, as it is too far away. It lies a further 7.5miles from Brixton Cycles, a 15 mile, 1.5 hour ride each way on heavily-trafficked roads. It is beyond the reach of the central and southern London riders. "

This goes for us in Croydon and Bromley, only more so!

Add to that, the fact that the present legacy plan for Eastway consists of a poor road circuit and virtually no off-road provision.

I feel duty-bound to object to the planning application.

Infuriating!

Not sure if any use, but am making sure my mate at Olympic Delivery Authority comms is a fully aware of this...

Yeah, this should go to the newspapers.

I realise it was a bitter smile on that photo now …
