At 12noon today the World Cycle Race starts from Marble Arch in London.

18,000 miles, no set route, one complete lap, simple

"If you want a bigger race, find a bigger planet"

I'll never get to the start in time especially as the wife wants to go to IKEA first

Rumor has it that some ikeas have walkways longer than 18,000 miles...

Was kinda expecting more than 3 riders, don't know why.

Saw Numplumz Jack at the start, he is off to Belgium for a week.

A fourth guy did not start, nobody knew why. An Indian guy called Prasad Erand started from Bangkok a few hours earlier.

I also saw a guy who is going to ride round the world on a penny farthing
Again.
