Do I win a prize for spotting that it is Mike Burrows? :lol:
He had a very short ride on my Sofrider, a couple of weeks ago. Didn't really venture an opinion about the machine. I went over to see him to ask about fitting a Shimano Alfine hub gear to the Sofrider. He mentioned that he was off to Bentwaters to race.

I'm pleased that you had a good time Robert.

@Mark - Thanks. It was worth going I think. I had intended to be a spectator on the Sunday and get lots more pictures, but the weather was atrocious in the morning and there wasn't much cover from the heavy rain. Having got pretty soaked over the first hour or so, we decided to head home early.

@Gromit - Yes! You win a cookie. :) My girlfriend was watching the race, along with a friend of mine who lives in the area. When I stopped racing they commented on the guy racing in pyjamas. That was Mike of course, in his red and white stripy body suit. :lol:

Cheers,
Rob

Not to be mean, but it's pretty easy to tell by the photo why the organizer (or lack thereof) was the organizer (or lacking thereof) and not racing.
