The joy of roots events is that the cyclists form a community, with RGT and now Biketera the organisers personalise the routes based on real places without Disney-style scenery. Also, if you were there at the start, you can dine out for years telling people.

Just 8 weeks ago, Biketerra ran it’s first ever race, West London’s race 1.1 and the creators have responded after every event, evolving the app and listening to riders …. it’s a community. That they went and especially created West London Cycling’s race 1,8 a snow theme speaks volumes about the people behind Biketerra. We didn’t even know ourselves and it was brilliant … thank you Biketerra, we’ve never seen Staines looking so pretty!

In Race 1.8 Jeppe Snaever took the points ahead of Anders Ostergaard with, in what is a great persoanl achievement, our very own Stu Thorn taking third just ahead of series leader Wouter Claes. There were a few glitches and we have to give Karl-Axel Zander Persson a really special mention for an epic ride to take 5th place after being left behind early on … well done Karl!

With the next two Wednesdays landing on Festive Hlidays, we’ll be back on Wednesday 8th January at 19.00pm UK Time when the action will resume.  ENTER HERE: https://biketerra.com/events/102
