ThunderTrack II

NLTCBMBC present ThunderTrack II

Sunday, August 7th @ Herne Hill Velodrome from 12pm.

Once again, NLTCBMBC bring you a day of fast paced and fun track racing at Herne Hill Velodrome. This time with the added bonus of Novice and BC Licensed categories for both men and women with loads of prizes for EACH race!

Races include:
Scratch // Points // Keirin // Devil and more

Win prizes from:
BLOC Eyewear
8bar bikes
CINELLI
Rapha
and BC points are on offer for those in the licensed categories.

Entry is £15 cash on the day.

This is pretty much the evolution of the forum track day and as is tradition we will be donating any profits from the entry fees to the forum, last year we donated profits to Brixton Cycles to help secure their crowdfunding for their awesome new place.

More details can be found on the facebook event page and I'll also be putting announcements out on our Instagram account

It would be awesome to get even more people down than we had last year, so don't forget to spread the word. Chances to win stuff for all abilities!

Also, it's obviously made even better when people come down to heckle and drink beer at the track side while the guys racing do their thing. The more the merrier.

Count Me In

Look out on the thread and FB for a bunch of social stuff plus another round of Drag Sprints on ThunderTrack Weekend!

This was great fun last year

Dumb question time...

Is the novice event open to those who don't have track accreditation?

Cheers

@Bamster
Novices wishing to race will have to have done Herne Hill Induction (can be done the day before), but do not have to have full track accreditation.

Thanks @laner - will get my butt down to HH and get inducted in time.

done that, how do I prove it though?

They give you a card after induction don't they?

not sure I ever got one

I never got given anything when I passed induction.

Does anyone know if HH is only a one stage induction/accreditation then?

I know Welwyn Garden City is at least a 4 stage accreditation process

Herne hill has three stages. Induction, Training Accreditation and Race Accreditation.
But that is for track league, etc.

For club organised events such as this we can use our discretion, and have set induction as the minimum bar for the Go Race/Novice. But we reserve the right to tell people they can't race and/or pull people riding unsafely.

Does anyone have the details for the induction for the day before? I've seen there is a taster session Saturdays at 1300, are they just a on the day job?

Every Saturday

From 13:00 (arrive 12:00)

Ah thanks man

So a heads-up for Thunder Track Drag Sprints on the 5th.

Going to meet at Cycle-PS Camberwell for 19:30. Do registration, drink FREE BEER (a lot) then roll back into central for the race.

Guessing we will be racing about 22:00.

Circle Line ride on Saturday night also - Weekend of cycling..

More info soon.

If anyone could lead me a 54cm track bike with a gear ratio 52x15 I would race again...

I would offer my Umezawa but scared you'll crash it.. and its a 55.x tt

Yeah I've done my induction but didn't receive anything for it.

Do you know if the rental bikes will be available?
I also did the induction in 2013 but have no record of it, will that be accepted?

Thanks, but I rather not used something so bling either!!

You'll need to bring your own bike as Herne Hill don't really allow people racing on their hire bikes.

As far as induction goes, if you've done it but not been on the track for a while I'd go for a refresher session (either another induction or the beginners session on Saturdays) to get back up to speed.

Anyone know if a 2012 (chrome) Langster steel is track legal?
