fucktards, the lot of old tossers!

Unlucky! I thought you'd just about got the weather. Such is the way of Herne Hill tho.

Just to note - there is racing every Monday and Wednesday at the track, kick-off around 6.30pm. You need a racing licence for Monday, but you can turn up and race on the Wednesdays (the 'Go Race' races).

That said, there's a lot to be said for having the track to yourselves ... I might even sneak along to the next one ... you'll probably recognise me by my lycra!

Right, here are the available dates...
15th June
29th June
6th July
27th July
3rd Aug
10th Aug
17th Aug
Shall I bother doing a poll? 15th or 29th June sounds good to me, earlier the better really... Thoughts?

i spent the whole weekend fettling polishing replacing and the old bike looked a million dorrars ready to show all comers a clean pair of bontrager race x lites
but the rain came down and the rain came down and the rain came down darn you rain and all your wet slippyness

for the next ldnfgss track day will someone please choose a dry weekend perferably with out any wind

earlier the better here too.
only question is- will I be able to hire a bike?

15th or 29th is good with me...

Yes.

The later the better for me. Give me a chance to build and ride my new frame I am collecting today

The LifeSaver

I think this is Peckham Pirate trying to work out which way round the track he should cycle:

General Flim Flammery

Retreating to the pub

and a close up (sadly i couldn't photograph the flies) of the sun.

Family Slain

Emilie trying to escape the advances of the Child Catcher/Slave Master, who genuinely loved track bikes

Apart from Skoota, who went over the road to listen to tunes? I've forgotten his screen name.

who is General Flim Flammery? i don't think i've met him

chris you asking my screen name or phil... who came across the rd to listen to tunes.

And, no Brendan, it was Phil's name I'd forgotten in the haze.

That scary man was somewhat entertaining. I hope I'm that crazy if I reach his age.

I can't look at that photo without thinking

Heh. You know's it.
