I was reminded that Battle Mountain was about to start by a post on Facebook, so I thought I'd pass on the reminder. Graeme Obree has arrived! How fast will he be? Find out soon!

Hope he can get more speed out of it tonight... 47MPH is a bit disappointing. How fast do you think he'd need to go to call this a successful trip (assuming the record is well out of reach on that machine...)?? |

Graeme is apparently going to have a go at the British record in another machine (Vortex)...
