Countdown to the Slow Cycle

It's the first of September, which means it's now only 26 days until the Prostate UK Slow Cycle!

For such a slow and somewhat sedentary event, it's been amazing how quickly people have signed up to enter the Slow Cycle. Whilst you can't fault this early showing of enthusiasm, we suggest a somewhat slower approach be adopted on race day to be within a chance of winning the coveted title of Slowest Cyclist in Britain. First to sign up, last across the line would be a tremendous effort.

Bike lovers worldwide have also been quick to note this landmark event. Moving Target, the Mecca for all messengers, fakengers and other delivery types, threw the gauntlet down suggesting that a London courier should win easily. TFL, road.cc and cyclechat quickly got in on the game, advertising the Slow Cycle to their thousands of subscribers, follwed by multiple tweets from as far away as Spain to as near to home as CTC and londoncyclist. In fact, so many people are talking about this race that we're now first in the Google UK search listing for Slow Cycle!

We'll be updating this blog regularly in the build up to race day, so keep visiting to get the lowdown on all things bike related, to see some great examples of world class slowness and keep up to date with all the latest news on the race for last place.
