The BWC is a fun cycle race for those with Brompton folding bikes and due to their considerable use for communtors you have to race wearing a shirt, collar, tie and jacket to ape the work atire.
Pic of Steve (r) and me before the start.
The course was two laps of a 6.5km circuit within the grounds of Bleinheim Palace - the hills were longer than the course diagram suggest.
nearly 500 people took part going off in groups of 100 at 5 minutes intervals - but my key competitor for the day was my best mate Steve. The start was Le Mans style where you had to run to your brompton, unfold it then ride off onto the course.
Did not stay for the results as we both had to get going after the event - all we know is that is was close...
