Sun Sept 21st, High-noon - LFGSS Track Day 2 at Herne Hill Velodrome

it was just as busy last year on sunny days

well that's not what the HH guy on the news said - he said they've had record numbers, turning people away etc

jolly good.

my whole post mentions inductions being busier

and that's what they've been turning people away for. running out of hire bikes.

most of them fuck off before sessions 3 and 4

Hello,

What's the situation here.. unxperienced and probably laughable on a track... can someone drop in to view? Although, hell, I don't mind paying, saddling up and embarrassing myself. Do it every day any way!

I wasn't around for the first one, so just trying to catch up.

Best.x

All welcome! :)

i'm down and rocking some new gears seeing mikec is cranking 92" :O

Joe are the jumblers turning up to this?? Need some bits and bobs...

Looking forward to the 50p tea

i can sell you some tea for 50p a cup if you'd like?

is that gay slang for what?

'Dale is sucking cocks at the glory hole tonight'

i actually didn't find out what a 'glory hole' was until last week. :(

i'd imagine it was quite a shock!

are your knees still sore?

no, i leave that sorta stuff to those gayers with pink rapha tops!

c-

Nearly forgot about this. just need new bar tape to match my helmet and i am well set up!

come on, where the fuck is everybody? must be loads more down for this.

good work joe - just thought i'd throw in an unnecessary bump

If you have a flip-flop hub then you can stick another sprocket and flip the wheel over or change sprockets when you get there. You should aim for mid 80s GI. I assume your charge has drops and you can easily remove the front brake? In that case you should be fine

I'm rocking with 46x14 (two fat ladies and a bit)
other than that its bar tape, tyres in good nick, helmet and bar tape.. anything else?

there a chance we can get there early and test the set up before racing?

muswell hill?! ;)

Have 49:14 on at the moment which is giving me 92. May change the chain ring to a 48 which will give me an even 90. Going to HH in a while to give it another test see how its coming along

tyres in good nick

You should of seen the bike they had me riding on Saturday. You could see all the way through the tub to the wheel.

too busy trackstanding shiney new wheels to race like a man Jonny.. kids today.. makes me feel heavy inside.

that's why they only inflate them to 60psi

yes, Dark Times.
