  • Right! We're on!

    A booking has been made for us to have exclusive use of the BMX track on the afternoon of Sept 14th from 3pm to 5pm complete with a coach.

    IMPORTANT STUFF ALERT: I need to pay the booking cost up front, so please could people add their names to the list and then I'll PM with my bank deets to transfer money, if that's ok?

    I'm waiting for the invoice from Lee Valley, but we'll work on the assumption we can fill all 16 places and work from there. I'll also leave this post here for now but then link to the main forum if we can't fill all the places with names of LFGSS Ladies and friends of LFGSS types that have already expressed an interest - is that fair? The more places we can fill, the cheaper it gets, eh?

    Go, go! Spaghetti-o's!

    Oh - max places is 16 to take part but I've made it 18 for reserves..

  • Rad.
    I'll try round up some bandits.

  • i'm SO KEEN. how much $$$?

  • attending, can paypal or bank trans when ever you say go.
    Ethel.

  • Cafewanda in.

  • i'm SO KEEN. how much $$$?

    Good point - if we can get all 16 places filled then it works out at £12.50 per person for hire of the track and the coach.

    Bike hire is then £10 on top per person, so hopefully £22.50 in total per person...am waiting to find out from Lee Valley if we have to pay for bike hire now or on the day.

  • brilliant! thanks so much for organising. the peckham bmx track is over the road from my house and i've been dying to try bmx. so far only managed a very sneaky few laps fixed in the middle of the night... will spread da wurd and get moar ladies

  • Fixed BMX! You should team up with Ethel and borrow her Spar crate helmet :D

    And the Peckham BMX track is only 10 mins from me and I was signed up to do a Britich Cycling Intro for Ladies but I got such chronic/ridic anxiety about it that I actually made myself ill and could go which is complete foolishness and sorta why I've started these.

    Feel the fear and fall off anyway ; )

  • word of warning: Spar Crate Helmet TM didn't work so great. Might bring an Sainsburys one for the 14th...

  • I'm in definitely in but Nicola is out, she needs to go ooop north next weekend.

  • that's a shame Nic can't make it Caz. Was looking forward to seeing her!

    If there are people on this list that you know are still keen, aren't on the event list here can people nudge people?

    Obviously I want to make sure people who already expressed an interest get places but also want to fill all the places up, innit so will open up to wider forum say on Friday? Does that seem fair/ok?

  • I could tap up some cycle ladies on facetube that are maybe on here, but not regulars?

  • Can't, got a work thing that evening :(

  • I'm in! Taking the plunge to sign up, although am a bit scared. Eek!
    Can transfer the monies whenever.

  • I could tap up some cycle ladies on facetube that are maybe on here, but not regulars?

    Do it!

    And Pops - I'm sure you aren't alone in being mildly terrified - I'm a bit afeared, but we're pretty much all total beginners and we're going to have the track to ourselves so no small boys showing us up!

  • me too confirmed :)

    looking forward to it!

  • I'm defo in... lemmie know re: funds! (in need of beik) Also nudge for @Sam_Dunn! ...

  • Yes - full face helmets provided :)

  • Does anyone wear glasses? How are they with a full face helmet, I can bring my contacts, they just are not at the correct strength..

  • Have put the word about the cycle ladies on facetube - most if not all are already on here.

  • Yes Debbie! Nice one! And thanks Clefty!

    I sent back the hire agreement a few days ago and that only detailed the cost of track and coach so I'm assuming you pay for bike hire on the day?

    Have asked though (along with q's from other thread) so will let you know when I know and work out what people need to send me accordingly innit.

  • I'm keen - hoping there is still space?
    Will need a bike too....

  • IN! Even if I end up standing around like a woose cheering rather than cycling. ;)
