  1. Sorting out the race files for the first British Human Power Club meet of the 2026 season at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit on Saturday. Good to see a decent number of arm-powered entries, and people who haven't raced with us before.

    Hopefully it'll stay dry enough that I don't end up riding blind and come off the track at a random tangent like I did last time...

  2. The Mayor of #London has hailed the success of the #ULEZ scrappage scheme, which removed or upgraded over 53,000 older, more polluting vehicles – 35,094 cars and 17,964 vans – cutting emissions and improving air quality. Outer London saw 88% of funding, with #Croydon and #Hillingdon leading on applications. The scheme promoted sustainable travel, with more walking and bus use reported. Over 680 vehicles were donated for humanitarian aid in #Ukraine. Emissions savings include 160 tonnes NOx, 8.5 tonnes PM2.5, and 33,400 tonnes CO2 – equal to powering 1,000 homes for a year. ULEZ compliance now exceeds 97%, up from 39% in 2017. London’s air quality is improving faster than elsewhere in England, with the most deprived communities seeing the greatest benefits. The £210m scheme remains the largest of its kind in the UK.

  3. I've been a little distracted with broad-spectrum DIY, but the British Human Power Club racing season kicks off at #Hillingdon on Saturday. Registrations close at midday tomorrow.

    Our events are open to anyone over the age of 12, on anything that's human-powered and meets a minimal set of safety requirements.

  4. Another successful day of #BHPC racing at #Hillingdon. We actually ran to time, which is almost unheard of.

    The suicide-rabbit that tried to take me out on the bottom corner is disqualified for poor race etiquette, and disqualified again for not being human-powered.

  5. Tomorrow's side-quest from WC2024 organising is processing registrations for the #BHPC races at #Redbridge and #Hillingdon this weekend. Registrations close tomorrow morning, so there's still time to get an entry in...

  6. 1/5 London Autumn
    I've missed the best of #autumn as I was away, but have tried to catch the tail end in the last two weeks. Here's a shot from the #Hillingdon Trail near #Harefield. Mud, woods and golden leaves.

    Charges & Fees Galore

    As a New Year present (actually passed before Christmas, but this hardly feels like something fitting for the season of goodwill) it seems that Hillingdon Borough Council has decided to increase the fees and costs for a number of items outside of the proposed increase to council
