    Now all we need are people there, drunk, and shouting encouragement as loud as their lungs permit.

    Saturday 19th April, London

    Rapha presents another night of roller racing and music on Saturday 19th April in association with Rollapaluza. The evening will feature 10 London teams representing teams from all walks of life, bicycle couriers, media folk, bankers, commuters and London cycling clubs.

    The 500 metre sprints pitching rider against rider will again be staged in a boxing ring. The night will also include a ‘Have-a-Go-Race’, which offers a chance for everyone to test their roller skills.

    The night will feature up and coming band HMS Cyclones, while DJ's will keep the night rolling in between heats. There will be prizes of Rapha products, and a paying bar will serve both food and drink.
    Come to watch, drink and cheer on London’s top teams. Tickets are limited to 500.
    £7 for a single ticket or buy a three pack of tickets for £14 to get a ticket FREE, saving £7.
    Limited edition Rapha Roller Race caps will be available to buy with £2 going to Leuka; a leukaemia research charity.
    Discounts on selected merchandise will available from the Rapha Boutique.
    A charity auction raising funds for Leuka will be held on the night.

  • Tickets... we have 30 of them for sale to forum members.

    The deal that they have given us is 3 for 2... which means the 30 divided evenly are £4.67 per ticket. (20 * 7 = 140 / 30 = 4.6recurring). Which is a dumb number. Because I'm not going to carry enough loose change to give you all 33p back.

    So... I'm going to sell 10 single tickets for £5 each, and 10 pairs of tickets for £9 each... which adds up to the £140 that I have to give the Rollapaluza/Rapha guys. ((10 x 5 = 50) + (10 x 9 = 90)).

    So that's the deal...
    ** £5 for a single ticket, 10 available.
    £9 for two tickets, 10 pairs available.**

    And our team deserve a mention:

    1. Sam - 22.17
    2. grover - 22.14
    3. somebody - 22.48

    With Nelly too if he responds.

  • Tickets will be sold cash only.

    First batch will be at the West London Drinks this Thursday. If you want a ticket badly and can't get there... ask someone else to buy one for you. They are first come first served.

  • remind me,

    do the riders pay too?

  • remind me,

    do the riders pay too?

    Yeah, remind me too. I still haven't had an answer from Winston.

  • I'll check, but I'd say no.

    If I learn otherwise, I'll pay for the riders for LondonFGSS.

    So whatever the answer is, none of the riders for our team will have to pay.

    Even the lfgss riders on other teams? :p

  • Even the lfgss riders on other teams? :p

    No chance ;)

  • I'm Winston and Caspar's bitch now :(

  • I would have thought the riders pay.

    Even if not, I'll pay my own way David. Cheers anyway!

    Nah, I've got it covered. The T-shirts will cover it. Any donations that the server gets in excess of 6 months worth of costs will be ear-marked for things like this... entry fees for races and sportifs, coaches back from Dunwich, starter whip-rounds for replacement bikes when people have accidents.

    For the riders, consider yourself covered. But you'll have to get tickets for your partner, mates and stuff.

    Is your pimp's money not good enough for you? Getting too big for your patent leather knee high boots, ho.

  • put me down for a single ticket I'll grab it at westie drinks

  • i'll have one, hopefully will be at westie drinks on thurs to collect...

  • Grr out for dinner on Thurs - no westie drinks. DK I'll take one and come collect at lunch some time this week.

  • I'd also like to come along, hopefully make it to West drinks on Thursday, depending on whether I can actually put on proper shoes then (stupid suit shoes ruined my feet!)

  • But you'll have to get tickets for your partner, mates and stuff.

    Trust me, the last place my missus would ever go would be to Rollapaluza.

    Cheers David!
