then race like the clappers for 13 kilometres

Great sequence - Love it. I didn't know that they had a Brompton World Championships. Is the shirt and tie obligatory?

[Maria Darby]

@harveyzone Shirt and tie obligatory and also a jacket, however this year it was so hot that about 20 minutes before the beginning of the race they said the jackets were optional. This race was after the Brompton marathon of 26 miles. Did you recognise anyone in the third picture?

[Tom Harvey]

@mariadarby Yes, I though I recognised the person in second place, but didn't like to say. Did he win?

[Maria Darby]

Nope. There were 789+ entrants (including the man who designed the bike and Rory McGrath) and some of them were taking it very seriously - i have the photos to prove it.
