Herne Hill Veteran's League

I am thinking of ending my Herne Hill exile by attending these this year. Anyone else going to be taking part?

What age do you have to be to qualify for veteran status?

40 http://www.hernehillvelodrome.com/whats-on/racing-and-events/veterans/

Old :(

Do you need to be accredited?

WHO CAN ENTER? Any rider who was 40 or over on 1st Jan 2016. You must hold a full British Cycling Racing Licence or equivalent. Provisional licence holders will have to buy a day licence for each round.

DO I NEED TO BE ACCREDITED? Riders in A and B categories will require Herne Hill Race Accreditation, UK Track Accreditation, Lee Valley Level 4 or similar. C category will require a minimum of Herne Hill Training Accreditation. Click here for a list of upcoming accreditations at Herne Hill.

So I'd have to ride with the nodders.

Lol. Did you never get accredited either?
I have UK track accreditation from that trip to Newport so I can put myself into the B group and see how I go

I'd stopped racing before accreditation was introduced. Will have to sort it out soon, although the lack of a working track bike is a bigger issue.

You must have stopped around the same time as me then. Last time I raced at HH was the 2010 season. My body will most likely just fall apart completely doing this :|

I'm sure @Zed would let you use his Merckx. I don't think he's ridden it much in the last two years.

I would lend you mine, but I think 55cm will be too small for you, even with 13omm boat anchor stem. Also, it's sort of set up 'just so' for me :)

also - @andyp if you're thinking of building up a cheap bike - Jon @crowbar has a Moda frame he's trying to get rid of and I've a bunch of spare bits.

Can't give that frame away...

Thanks, I could always hire a bike. Or buy one.

I actually have a track frame still, my steel Casati that I was too precious about.

Bikes are for riding @andyp - build it, ride it!

Too cold for me yesterday. Has to be at least 14degrees before I consider racing :) Willl try for next month
Anyone attend?
