I gather Chipps has been out and about with a camera. Here's his cross race, which took place this January. Pssssquirch.

And here's the course now, after no reinstatement work whatsoever.

And that's also after holding another race there in July.

Bristol Tr[b]ia[/b]ls Group!? 😀

Mr A, how come you sound knowledgeable, coherent and eloquent when on the radio rather than a mumbling hoodie IRL? 🙂

She's been emailing all the mayoral candidates too, and even had a couple of responses.

Conham River CX is on the 25 December thanks to the Severn Road Club.

🙂

I know : how about the NHS sponsor the CX series and pay the council the ridiculous rider levy.
After all we are saving the NHS obesity and related illness money.

Good call, Bristol. Should hopefully mean BRT2 is dead in the water too.

Here he is in 1979 helping to build the Saltford section of the Railway Path. Red trousers just out of shot.
