Velocity Racers

29/05/2026

As cyclists, we have to look out for our racers when training. Even in the open spaces of the Richmond Park, there are plenty of hazards - deer, children, cyclists, and the odd man smartly dressed in shirt and tie, walking on the road.

All in a session's work.

British SUMMER Time is here - so was Sunday's Sun. While we started at our normal time, it seemed most of the Park was exclusively ours. Thanks to our supporting friends, offspring and parents, we basked in the cold sunrise and pushed our very best.

first stop - London Marathon!

By 8am on Sunday, Richmond Park was full of cyclists (as usual) and a LOT more runners than ever, presumably preparing for the London Marathon. In anticipation of this, Velocity started training before daybreak to avoid the crowds.

Sure it was cold and miserable, but at least it was character-building!!
