LFGSS Ladies Do....ALL THE BIKE THINGS

If there is still space for bmx fun times I would like to come! Have never tried it before and would like to give it a go, it will result in me making girlish outcries and a possible face to floor injury...

Poots what's the deal - are we booked?
I have a couple of questions:

1. Do we need to bring our own LF gloves (I noted on the velopark site that it stated this on the taster sessions
   
2. Can I wear my spd's or do I need to wear regular shoes? (I may be riding there)
   
3. Is there decent bike locking and or somewhere to stash a Brompton safely
   

also where are we pubbing afterwards?

1. Bring own long fingered gloves

2. Trainers rather than SPD's

3. Lots of secure storage/bike locking at LV - you can only get into the various bits if you're doing something e.g the general public can't just wander around iyswim?

4. Pub - Spoons in Stratford for cheapo Sunday lunch??

Please note though Lee Valley haven't confirmed a coach yet. Have chase them this am...if no response will speak nicely to RPM ON HERE.

I have spoons vouchers, will bring ;)

GOOD NEWS!

We are on for Sunday 14th! Just trying to iron out finer details like the time an' that.

Woooooo! #rep

Awesome! Looking forward to it :D

Yay!!

We are on! 3pm to 5pm on Sunday 14th!!

I'm going to start a new thread with all the details in...

I'm going to fall off, but I will do it with style..

wicked!

Thankyou!!

Re-posting Scoot's post in the cross thread :
There's also two Women's Cross skills sessions at Herne Hill Velodrome on Sunday 19th October for any ladies who wants to try out cross for the first time which will be great, and also all riders get a free space in the Super Cross Fun Race the following weekend at Ally Pally!

Session 1, 12.30-2.30: eventbrite.co.uk/e/rapha-wome­ns-cross-skills-session-1-tickets-132834­66205
Session 2, 3-5pm linky: eventbrite.co.uk/e/rapha-wome­ns-cross-skills-session-2-tickets-132844­27079

any of you ladies up for doing cross next?

yes please

I've signed up for the second session, with the idea that I can have a go on the track afterwards if the Mule Bar Girl sessions are still on.

good idea! I'll join you in that session then ~

Ooo new bike things, need to check if I'm in London that weekend but if I am then I'm definitely up for trying cross!

Do it, it gets you an entry place to the Rapha supercross fun race at Ally Pally as well. Tequila shortcut!

(Basically means I'll be racing twice in one day, as I've signed up for the women's race).

Yeah, free tequila!

Thanks for reposting blowfish, I didn't see this thread so made an event for it but here are the links again to sign up below as well. We've started promoting these through the Rapha Twitter/Instagram accounts now and they're already starting to fill up! If anyone wants to swap sessions so you can all be together just let me know and I'll change it for you.

omg @Cazakstan remember when i said i had a great idea but couldn't remember it... CX was it, haha.

i'd already signed up to this as I'd been keen to try cross for ages, i think i'm in the first group so maybe i will take you up on your offer @Scoot thank you if the other wimminz opt for the later slot?

also thank you, lovely ladies, for coming on Sunday! nice to see some familiar and chirpy post-bmx faces as well as some new ones. see you at drinks!

Haha awesome, it's a brilliant idea @lucyh!

Booked for 3-5 cross session.

@lucyh Have swapped ya to the 3-5 sesh :)
