Request for a link to my website: Hi, my name is Michael and I create maps of public transport connections for various London areas, showing all available means of transport (tube, train, bus, coach), not just Transport for London routes. My maps are the most comprehensive and up-to-date available and well designed. The web maps are featuring some dynamic content (highlight individual bus routes, venues, etc.) and the PDF versions allow for enlargement without loss of quality. All bus stops are shown and there are links to all available time tables. My website is www.urbanfoxmaps.com and the map links connecting to this particular article are www.urbanfoxmaps.com/islingtonmaps/islington.htm and www.urbanfoxmaps.com/islington.pdf. Many thanks and kind regards Michael Strauss 23:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelstrauss (talk • contribs)

go as you please
I don't know anything about bicycle races, but there were six day go-as-you-please races at the Agricultural Hall. the first one started at three minutes past one on the morning of Monday 18 March 1878. there were twenty-one men invited to compete, including two Americans, Daniel O'Leary originally from Ireland but resident in Chicago, and Edward Payson Weston of Connecticut. "As is well known, the conditions are for the twenty competitors to make the best of their way for six days, he who covers the greatest distance (either running or walking) in that time to be adjudged the winner. The prizes, which are all guaranteed by the donor, amount to 750 pounds, in addition to a massive Champion Challenge Belt, valued at 100 guineas, which, in addition to 500 pounds, will fall to the share of the fortunate first man." second prize was 100 pounds, and third prize 50 pounds. the donor was Sir John Astley, MP for North Lincolnshire. details were published daily in the newspapers and a reasonable summary can be found in The Sportsman Saturday 23 March 1878, page 8, and a full list of the final results is in The Sportsman Monday 25 March 1878 page 3. the winner was Daniel O'Leary (520 miles and 2 laps), H. Vaughan of Chester, England, was second (500 miles), and H. "Blower" Brown of Fulham, England was third (477 miles). the first four men did more than 400 miles, two others exceeded 300 miles, six others exceeded 200 miles.
