KPRC Zeppelin

Thanks to Steve for organizing a great night at the Epsom Playhouse preceded by a pint before and after at the Albion. Garry was not as impressed by this tribute group as much as he was by another group seen two years ago. I was thoroughly impressed by the lead guitarist Mark who was amazing, the lead singer had such a high pitched voice it was unreal and out of this world, in fact he sounded like a cat being castrated. Talking of which there are some very good offers on items a Robert Dias at moment. I bought a liquidizer and non stick pans which our cat Daisey took a liking to hence the last picture. Strange creatures cat's perhaps that why my wife likes them!

The importance of marshals

Watch all the way to the end...

Tour of Britain Finish in London

Having competed in the Interclub I ducked out of Tanhouse Farm and went up to London to see the finish of the T de Brit. Riding my Raleigh Randonneur I met with C&M at the Spoons Whitehall near Trafalgar Sq. a good vantage point but the riders came through so fast they were just a blurr. Ed was there along with Andy Coxhill & Paul Day.
Once the riders had flashed past on the opposite side could be seen Jen & Simon so I took a tele-photo. After the proceedings I just went and had some fun with Mark Cavendish's team and got arrested not by the police put by paramedics on Bikes. I'd like to be one of them!
Finally I went to China Town for a slap up Buffet for £8.50 and stuffed myself silly with as much as you like including loads of Chilly Prawns in shells and lots of crispy duck, noodles, rice, chickens wings etc etc.
As a night cap I went to Molly Moggs near Stringfellows for the most outrageous performance by a regular drag artist with the most amazing voice and provocative style. Having ridden out 29 miles I caught the 9pm train home from London Bridge.

Here are some photos.






Redmon/Phoenix Interclub KPRC Team

Well hard luck the "Phoenix" as Alex says one to take back next year, Below are the vanquished but not the extinguished!


Looking at the link of the results on the Redmon Blog it seems that Simon T and I DNS! Well I accept that Simon pulled his wheel over at the start but he did finish. I was 10 secs late on the line and if I recall did a 1:15: 27 or something what a horrible return leg up the A24 from Great Dau R.B. through Kingsfold etc. It was good to see Ron waiting at a Bus Stop while cheering us on and well done Brian for shooting down to Broadbridge after pushing off and marshal at the trading estate R.B.

I look forward the comparison handicapping of yours, Jake, me and anyone else. I must say Marcus I expected you to go well under the hour! Non the less when I spoke to Frank this morning he tells me you broke the KPRC 10 record recently not quite doing a 19 minutes! Well done

Consolation 25m TT and Inter-Club event Vs Redmon CC.

Full results can be found here.

Afraid it wasn't our day today, despite both Dale and Marcus blitzing the course and going under the hour. That said, I'm pretty certain we can get this one back next year. :-)

Will put up a report  and consolation results soon.

Alex

Message from Frank

Frank phoned me to say that he has broken his leg (assisted by the dog) and will be stuck in Suffolk for a while! The only consolation for this is that at least he is in the right environment with a bungalow and someone to look after him...

He has no computer or internet access, so if anyone needs to get hold of him they need to phone him on his mobile - or, if you need to get hold of him and can't get through I have the number for the bungalow.
