other forms of racing

I went to the IHPV world championship racing at the weekend as it was
happening very near home:

Lots of wierd and wonderful machinery, including a chap on a Brompton with
tri-bars in one of the afternoon races (:-)).



I had a go on Steamboat Willy at the quay at Orford, before the regular
pilot took it for a brief spin down the slipway and across the harbour.

It was rather a forgone conclusion in the Junior class, tho.

I understand it can be quite good fun if you race someone in London.

They travel from A to B on the tube - you travel from A to B on your
cycle - annoys the motorists as well - so extra bonus.

Sorry - it's another form of racing which I thought may be of
interest.

They should put Steam Boat Willy on the next series, except that fat
Clarkson would probably break it :-)
