Wear Pink? On yer bike!!!


As Freddie said...
I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike.

Its the pink meeting at Bristol. Racing for the "Pink Ribbon Trophy".

Now as you may or may not know, the event is the brainchild of Andy Maidment - one time hot rod racer, but best known as dad of Nathan (935) and one of the chief TARTs. Last year his wife Lesley Maidment lost her battle with cancer just 2 months after the inagural running of the trophy. So this year, in addition to the F2 racing,another madcap idea is to take place.

Yup. Forget the Tour de France... this is the bike race that everyone is talking about....

Ably assisted by the infamous "Mr Starter" Andy Chant the following has been arranged....

As graded by age, both organisers are taking part...and surprise surprise, both start as white! Fortunately, a fair and unbiased starter has been deployed, as Mr Starter moves over for Madame Starter, in the guise of Jessica Maidment, who won't take any shilly shallying!!

Already confirmed entries from Team Janner Motorsport, who were after some bikes. Matt Linfield (464) has said he would do it in a pink mankini on his 3 year old daughter's tricycle...
Nearly 50 entries already and a junior race this is looking to be massive!

However Andy, do you think that Sir Chris Hoy has this in his pre race ritual scheme??
