Has anyone suggested this? Although I live a 2 min ride from Herne Hill and still haven't done my induction and I'm 40 and well outta shape, I think it'd be an awesome thing...
BBQ after, good times with fellow 'spaz about bikes' folk on the grass... Possible party at my place after... The flat I rent has the biggest, most beautiful garden in Brixton...
Bonne idee, non? After-party subject to landlord...
Good to plan ahead...
Joe :-)
PS Realise I still (love italics) haven't met any of you guys and you could all be a buncha freaks, but I can feel the love...

Anyone interested in organising such a thing?
Is there an audience for it?

Rule 1. Don't post crazy ideas on internet forums when you're p*ssed out of your head... :-S

I think it could be a good idea, could have the after part in a pub if you want so as not to have aflat full of freaks tramping round your home.

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

How about we skip the track, head straight to your house? ;-P

How do we go about securing the venue, is it expensive?

I have a feeling there will be a list sometime soon..

Hey Winston, What did Herne Hill quote you for your Keirin day?

they didn't...it was a club promotion essentially and I am in the club that manages HH, of course had the event gone ahead the track time would have been paid for at the standard rates which are...£35 per hour I think....speak to them nicely and that might include bike and helmet hire for those who don't have their own.....

Myself and Big Al have organised three track days for couriers (http://www.addicts.tv) and they are great fun, so go for it.

I'm in,
I live in stockwell and still haven't gone to the velodrome the early saturday morning starts are a killer.
Lets do a list, and lets get this party started

£35 Per Hour / 30+ riders
LETS DO IT !

I'll email the Herne Hill bods and find out what dates they've got free... April/May?

Just emailed the Herne Hill head honcho (thanks for the tip Winston), I've asked him if there's a free Sunday in late April/May, if he'll let us use their bikes (for those that need them) and if we can have an induction pre-event for those that haven't ridden there before (like me! I've only ever spectated at HH)...

Let's see what he says, we'll take it from there... :-)
