This is a little known fact about me, especially on this forum, but absolutely true:

My full name has not always been Håkan Wolgé, but in fact I was brought up as Stig Håkan Fransson (called Håkan, of course). I always disliked "Stig" as a name, and when I decided that my mothers maiden name "Wolgé" was a nicer one to pass on to my children than Fransson, I also decided to drop the "Stig" part! This was, obviously, well before "the Stig" became famous...

LOL yes he has rather contradicted that quote, I guess any route requires a certain amount of running

Anyway they have just had a very sexy 1 minute change at Woodford on the Hainault loop section...

Thanks for the updates. But no-one will ever beat the sexiness of our West Ham change a year ago.
