Hi Jon

Great news and results write-up.

I agree, I watched it a few times and you did seem to be peddling quite a bit, maybe with different gearing you would have got 1st?

(There's always next time)....

Congratulations, you must be proud.

Pedalling too fast? What is the matter with you all, as the saying goes "You have to spin to win".  Pedal away Jon.

Well done Jon lad, you had a go. Cheeky fooker on the comentery ' will they make it round' . I like your write up. next time get one of them pump action water pistols and piss in it , then fire it at the little twats on the berm as you go by. Then they will really be pissed off. I bet ye legs felt like lead after each race. Just stick at it, it will get easier.

Thats a sweet build,  that seat is amazing,  I know of the Azusa project, pretty cool, to base it on a JMC, but i have to say I am getting the bug, and quite fancy one of these,
