BT Storytellers - Update 0001

Have just recieved my first invite to attend an event as an Official BT London 2012 Storyteller, and it's this Sunday at The Hadleigh Farm Mountain Bike International.

I know this is an official Test Event for the London 2012 Olympic Games, and upto 5,000 members of the public have access to tickets for the event.

It will be the first chance for mountain bike riders to race on the new, purpose-built for the London 2012 Mountain Bike competition in Hadleigh, Essex.

I know it's not as glamourous as the Launch, but still am very excited at the prospect of going !

Pictures, and maybe a few words will follow when I return, and an official report on the BT Storytellers Website.

It's 1 Year to go

Although the Opening Ceromony is on the 27th July 2012, the London 2012 Games begins on the 25th July 2012, 1 year from today !

Oh yes, there are two Olympic events taking place before the Opening Ceremony on Friday 27th July 2012. One of these is the Archery, whose preliminary ranking round starts that morning at 9am. And the other is the Football, poor old unloved Football, whose matches kick off even earlier.
