Malcolm’s Journal

Had a wonderful day out at Silverstone for The British Grand Prix on Sunday and have finally got around to editing the video, taken from Club B (see below). Also added reports on Colchester’s Cycling Festival and the Tour Series pro race to the Colchester Cycle Champions website.

Went to The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association’s ‘Scotland in Colchester Pipe Band Contest’ on Sunday. Great atmosphere, great sound!

I have been doing some voluntary work for Colchester Cycle Champions, namely, rebuilding their website (within the CTC’s theme). It gives me great enthusiasm to know a guy like Richard Monk is involved in the Cycling Town project.

He pointed me to Re~Cycle, and I duly donated my old bike to the cause… today I reserved a tidied up 1980’s Claud Butler!

See Colchester Cycling Town Commuter Concern for my thoughts on Colchester’s ‘Cycling Town’ status.

Completed Little Havens 60-mile Essex Countryside Bike Ride on Sunday, braving the rotten weather for what turned out to be a really nice ride. I have composed a Google map with place markers linking to 100 minutes of bike cam from the event.

It isn’t too late to sponsor me!

After being knocked off my bike at the East Street/Moorside crossroad, and then hit on East Hill, Colchester, I decided to purchase a camera to mount on my handle bar. See Colchester Bike Cam for clips of incidents.

I will be taking part in the Essex Countryside Bike Ride on May 17, starting and finishing in Chelmsford. I aim to do the 60-mile route, and am now recruiting sponsors... please see my Fundraising Page, and remember to be generous!
