Brits in Rome Photos

[Wendles]

Here are some photos from today's event in the Villa Ada area of the city, a mix of park and woodland.http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendles56/sets/72157637231582846/

The Brits have the next largest contingent after the Italians and are up there in several of the classes. Day 1 was a fast and furious park race begun just before dusk in the parkland of Villa Borghese. All courses had several butterfly loops which resulted in exciting racing and much dodging of Italians on their National Holiday.

Tomorrow is the big one, planned by madmike! We begin at the Colisseum and courses take in the Trevi Fountain, the Forum, the Spanish Steps, the Panthenon and the Piazza Navona! Elbows out and much scuzi I think!

I hope you beat MrsH in that sprint finish Wendles?

I think it might have been a dead heat. Although that sprint finish did look more like a couple of old friends jogging in together having a good old natter.

And what's wrong with that? ( actually I was trying quite hard but I don't think Wendy was).
I note your preference Homer, I always preferred Spookster to you

Spookster would always have me in a sprint finish. In fact he'd mostly have me on tarmac (see BOF rankings...)
I was only supporting Wendles because she's Yorkshire.
