On the right track

Good Friday just got better, it was our first visit to the legendary Herne Hill Velodrome. Although bitterly cold the atmosphere was amazing. We were treated to a host of different racing; the best in our opinion being the paced events. Good to see Becky James do a lap of honour!

Also some great stalls selling hard to find bike parts and memorabilia, manned by genuinely nice people.

Our all weather kit

If you don't have a CX or Mountain bike you can always opt for some indoor cycling (see Issue 1 for further details). Out in all weathers the Firefly musette still performs well, best served without ice in our opinion!

It has to be a good summer, that's what we're telling ourselves.

Riding under team orders

Since 4 March we have been constantly processing orders for the magazine, T-shirts and musettes. We never needed any excuse to get out and ride but now we are out at least twice a day to the Post Office. At times the D-Dog messenger bag is pushed to it's limits - hey don't worry, we love it!

Every order is special but overseas orders get us thinking of warmer days and sunnier climates.

Magazine launch party

A milestone day/night for all at Simpson, from a hastily scribbled out note on a piece of paper to an actual printed product; the magazine had come of age. For all those that had inspired and encouraged us along the way this was there night as well as ours.

Great to share the launch celebrations with so many old and new friends alike.
