UCI World Cycling Championships

[Bealman]

For all you cycling nuts out there, my hometown of Wollongong is hosting this event in two weeks time.

It could be possibly worth tuning in just to see where Bealman lives!

The Darts was held there too recently.

For those who don't like cycling/cyclists, it's a shame they didn't combine the two 

Only joking. Just looked it up TV wise and looks like it's on Eurosport and Discovery+ so will drop in to see the sights of Wollongong 

Cheers, weave

There's going to be full helicopter coverage, so hopefully it will show the place off.

Looks like a lot to see and do, George.

They'll be fangin past the bottom of my street!

weve got a major cycle event here on the I o Wight next weekend. Lots of roads will be closed to traffic part time as a safety thing.  Motorists just love em.

[Bealman]

And....?

[Bigmac]

Maybe those motorists should consider the revenue brought onto the island by such events

[njee20]

Such mental acuity is beyond the residents of the Island I fear, based on the sample here present!

I had noticed the Worlds were in Wollongong, should be an interesting race, albeit it's always a bit weird - some trade team allegiances showing through, and a course which often just means a war of attrition.

Will the riders go past your bus stop George ?

[Bealman]

Ha Ha, no, it's not on the route.
