Red Hook Criterium London

I'm in too. See you guys there.

I got in off the waitlist, but hesitating to pull the trigger to buy a ticket... should I do it?

do it

Would have to do this, but due to student commitment means I'm out!

Have fun ladies and gents, and more importantly RIDE FAST!!!

I've entered and now I am bricking it. I hope the other women are nice...(they're going to destroy me)

I missed the initial rush but got in off the waitlist. I wasn't sure if I was gonna enter at all as I've been off the bike, injured, for the last 3 weeks but I've been looking forward to this for so long and we get so few chances to race fixed gear I figured I had to.

I'm just about able to start training again so not sure what legs I'll have come race-day but @umop3pisdn /fellow forumengers I'm up for putting whatever horsepower I have into the LFGSS qualification train

Who's flying the forum flag?

I'll racing in team kit, but I'll have a forum cap on.

NLTCBMBC skinsuit, forum cap and Rapha socks...all loyalties covered

I'll be in forum colours

I'm just back on my bike after breaking my foot a month ago, so I know how you feel. Got 4 weeks to get in decent shape.

I've just registered/signed up/paid and haven't seen anything about a waiting list? I'll start sharpening my elbows anyway.

Sorry to hear and best of luck! 4 weeks ain't long at that level so I don't expect to be competitive but it looks like such a great event I had to enter. If I can experience RHC and represent the forum I'm happy

Hope I don't crash and die

Bottled it, maybe next year... about to take out a mortgage and the life insurance hasn't quite kicked in...all the best everyone ;)

London course starts around Phoenix Avenue/East Parkside, heads down East Parkside away from O2, turns left onto Thames Path and back through two building sites -- they're having road prepared especially for the race to ride through -- before looping back round.
That's basically the course give or take any last minute logisitc deviations.

Good man, handy info, cheers

Milltag are asking (on Twitter) for any contenders to get in touch. Possible co-sponsorship opportunity perhaps?

thinking about this but need to work out if i'm out of my depth ( if you have to ask.. ) what sort of av speed are people pushing to get into the last chance race?

I'm in, will be fun!! @Moserism from a guy i spoke to who done barcelona and train with me at Herne Hill, expect a very strong pace. Sound like you can forget any gear below 90inch.

Yeah from what I can tell it's 24-27mph avg pace which (if the pack is looser in a crit) is too high for me outside of a tight rotating group

Can you get draft/pace from a group on the qualifying run?

That is the range i'm expecting too and indeed tougher than during track training as bigger gap.

Oh well I have 1 month to get use to my new training gear 50X14, was tough this morning during the 25-30 laps of the first hours.

@Thuekr Don't know about draft, would like to know too.

Yeah, Brooklyn was 20 mins to get your fastest lap, teamwork allowed.
