Tour de France 07, Hyde Park London

by Rollapaluza on 09/07/2007

Wow! what a weekend. Over 300 people tried the Rollpaluza rollers on Saturday and Sunday.  We were one of the attractions of the Tour de France “Peoples Village” in Hyde Park. Crowds of people jostled to watch the roller-racing action and people from all over the world (in London to see the tour) tried the rig. 

As well as the usual horde of youngsters keen to challenge their mates we had our oldest male and female roller racers ever; 68 year-old Mary and a  74 year old gentleman.

Records tumble.

Plenty of fast times were set throughout the weekend but when Anthony Gill (Yasumitsu Schlapp) took to the rollers on Saturday it was clear when he was warming up that he knew what he was doing and he let slip that he was a top kilo rider….he smashed the existing Rolla record with blistering 17.84 seconds….even more amazing his friend John (a non-cycling 100m runner) put down a time of 19.64 in their match, a time that would have been a record had Anthony not ridden.

The Rollapaluza crew were talking about Anthony’s time as if it would be “untouchable” for quite some time…but little did we know that reigning World Masters champion and two-time Olympian Geoff Cooke would be spotted in Sunday’s crowd. After a little gentle persuasion Geoff gave us a master class in roller racing, showing incredibly smooth technique he dipped well under Anthony’s time and posted 17.78 seconds…not bad for a 62 year old!

Rollapaluza on TV.

Mike Ramsden, news presenter from BBC London, couldn’t resist giving the rollers a go.  After rolling up the trouser legs on his Saville Row suit he set a pretty respectable time of 22.23 seconds (50.61mph)…turns out he’s a keen cycle commuter and has recently bought himself a fixie…..well done Mike….as a result, the Rollapaluza rollers appeared on TV for the first time this evening.
