Down and Out Around Smithfield Meat Market!

On Saturday I was involved in a cycling event called the Smithfield Nocturne. The idea for the day was to have all types of cycling events round Smithfield Meat Market – the race I was involved in was the ‘folding bike race’ in which everyone gets dressed up in work wear then runs to their collapsed bike on the start line, unfolds it then does 4 laps round the market.

Unfortunately although I had a great start and was 2nd out of 30 cycling off the start line, I ended up going too fast down the hill and ended up crashing on the first corner on the first lap!

So it ended up being a very short race, but I managed to find myself in a few photos from other people’s flickr accounts which was pretty cool (I’m the top result under the flickr search “smithfield crash”!)
