Opens today until Sunday. It's twinned with the London Boat Show, Travel show and outdoor show.
It was ok, mostly just standard companies selling bits and bobs.
DMR bump track is cool, but you can't go on it, however you can test ride a load of bikes there. If you're in the market for a new bike it's worth going just for the variety of stuff you can test for nowt. ____________________ My Flickr |

It was alright, far too many people!
I also found it odd I couldn't buy anything!
I went with the intention of getting some decent Pedals for my MTB. Now as a fairly standard component I assumed there would be no end of shops trying to sell me these. Nope, nothing I found one place selling road bike pedals and one selling BMX pedals.
My mate wanted some brake pads, again nowhere to be seen. He found one tiny place selling em but they didn't have his type.
I assumed they would be no end of place selling all these bits, it was great if you wanted to look at bikes or buy helmets/clothing, but if you think you will get a good deal on the new seatpost or front mech you want don't bother.
There were a few competitions based around the watt bikes I seemed to do well at. I was second on the leader board of one (maximum watts over 6 seconds = 1289w) and first on the other (fastest of one lap on the BMX track 275m = 15 something seconds) My girlfirned was the top girl on the BMX one too!
I set the record for the BMX at about 11 when I left at 15:30 I was still top fingers crossed I win the day and get a trip round lee valley.
I asked the guys doing the maximum watts one one the pros would get and they said about 1600-1800w so I'm not that far away bit more training and I'll be the new Chris Hoy. ____________________ Well, you know what they say.
