Pennyfarthing Racing at Knutsford Great Race

I was going to write up something epic, but Charlotte has beaten me to it so here, clicky and marvel at the derring-do derringly done. 

(update: the result has been corrected since C wrote this)

Awesome race, awesome Penny wrangling on your part sir. Looks also sadly like an awesome cock up to do with the results. Great that it's corrected, real shame they didn't get to collect it on the podium. And I really hope the stuff with Spend a Penny doesn't turn sour.

You've got 9 years and some days to get in shape for the next one now :-)

If there's one tri thing I can do, it's transition. That's just gear-wrangling. :)

There is a Grand Plan. It starts with spiffing up my existing penny, and then selling it to someone who wants a replica machine. Then those funds go towards a modern bike.

It's a replica of a very old style, y'see, and is a heavy beast: a fine parade bike, but not a regular rider. I was starting to tweak it (C helped with an alternative seatpost) when this became apparent, that it'd be like fitting racing handlebars on a Halfords mountain-bike. So: sell this one, buy a spiffy one. Kat's was a beauty, and Joff makes nice rides, so I may even have a choice!
