Grass Track Racing 2005

It's been pointed out to me that in the top picture of the Grass Track Racing 2005 gallery, you'll find Victoria Pendleton and Laura Trott. http://www.hertford.net/pictures/2005/grass_track_racing.asp Victoria is far right whilst Laura is third left in green and white. I also dug this out of the archive: [img]../images/forum/grass-track-2005-862.jpg[/img]

I hate to correct you but is it not Pendleton and Trott? Interesting Laura gets 2 post boxes as she lives in Cheshunt but they had her born in Harlow so did a post box there............I assume it was the hospital there? Well done to both of them and the rest of the cycling team.

Thankyou. Post corrected. The Royal Mail have admitted the Harlow postbox was a mistake. They painted this one first before someone pointed out the error. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/news/9456531/London-Olympics-2012-Track-cyclist-Laura-Trott-to-get-two-gold-post-boxes-after-mix-up.html

And the BBC have just labelled her as "20 year old Essex girl"! I'm still refreshing the 2012 site every few minutes just in case a ticket comes up for this afternoons session - work will be delayed today!

Thats the trouble with living close to the border and everyone has heard of Essex!
