@ willski - have you done your track induction yet? Had mine today using one of their hire bikes - an official Southwark Council Harry O complete with orange saddle (tasty). The hire bikes are okay but it just feels weird riding something other then your own bike.
Next time I'm down there I plan on using my bike- change the bullhorns to drops, ditch the brake and flip the wheel to a 48x15 gearing.
Think if you change the gearing at home and HTFU you could be knackered before you get there- showing up 15min early would surely give ya enough time to change the cog and remove the brake?
