Left it too late to enter the support race ... so I thin I'll be taking photos/drinking beer

Who's going to spectate?

Me, looking forward to it as I missed last year as I was doing the Calais CR with 3 others that day. Plan is my hilly ride in the morning, sleep, Nocturne and beer in the evening (could be dangerous as Marco said he was going), weaving hung over up to Biggin Hill with Marco et al on Sunday, fortunately on MTB with wide stable tyres :) .

Only Toks in it for Addiscombe this year by the [url=http://www.smithfieldnocturne.co.uk/supportrace.html]looks[/url] of it. After George and John's performances last year you've got a lot to live up to mate :D . Shame there's no more in it, I'd have done it if I was halfway competent. Never mind Dr. Toks you will get very vocal support.

may well be up for this

checking no.4's team name on the start list linked to above, i wondered if there was now a team of evangelical punning riders. but I think it's just a typo.

Typo? Thats right as far as I can see, he's a strong rider. Was in a break with him earlier on this year.

I have no doubt we will end up there, do you remember seeing the massive spark from Rob Hayles' pedal when he went down on the bend before- it looked really dramatic in that light?

Does anyone want to meet at East Croydon Station? Not sure of the circuit exactly or where the spots to watch are as I couldn't go last year.

Ah ok, see what you mean! Well, yes, had he saved his legs a bit more in the break he we might not have dropped him on the last lap 8)

He's a nice guy though if you get to speak to him...
