Morvelo Battle Royale 2 – video

by 1

Last week, all sorts of bikey-types; mountain bikers, roadies, fixie-beardy types, you name it – descended on the little town of Brighton, to battle in Morvelo’s modified bike speedway-type contest to see who was best. Here’s a nifty little video:

And a gorgeous photo gallery for your enjoyment:

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

    Was a good event, if slightly over “elbows out” for my personal taste. I’m even in that video about 4 times, which is quite impressive seeing as we didn’t get very far in the event.
    Thanks to Morvelo and all the Brighton folk involved.
