2010 Herne Hill Velodrome Track League

come down to race at Brighton, glorious sunshine and not a cloud in the sky right now!!

Sun must have come up from the South because its looking lovely where I am right now :)

Rainin a bit 5 mins or so from Herne Hill. Not enough for the track to get wet yet tho

I'm SE and it doesn't look good :-(

Will check back here around 5.30 6ish

I've been at home, in Beckenham, all day and it hasn't rained here at all. I'll head over to the track as normal at half 6 and see what's what.

Would anyone be able to post an assesment of the situation at HH at around 6ish please

come on sunshine...

just started to rain in SE23.

Noooooooooo....

rain stopped now, but looks wet outside.

It turned out to be a very good night in the end.
The individual pursuits were fun. If thats the right word. I was giggling when I got off my bike, before I collapsed, due to all the endorphins I guess

My legs gave way compltely when I got off my bike after the IP, I've never experienced that before!
Was a good night, good races.

oh no. I got ready to come down, Went outside and it was raining, road was wet so came back inside...Dam i was looking forward to it.

I really enjoyed it last night, some very fast racing. With Brian and Symon absent I think everyone felt they had more of a chance of winning and the open racing reflected that.

Still can't believe my IP time, I was convinced I was faster than the Rollapaluza track championships yet was given a time 2 seconds slower.

Exactly the same for me Andy. I was infinitely more tired last night that after the track championships. There was a bit of wind last night. I'm blaming it on that.

I was 3 seconds slower!

That and our failed attempt to liven up the 3 lap dash? :-)

We should get JC to calibrate the stopwatches.

You did liven it up, its just the whole bunch sat on your wheels. I enjoyed that very much, sat on the back spinning like a madman.

The plan was to get a gap though. We were sat behind 3 sprinters and assumed, wrongly, that they'd look to others to chase.

At least Mike podiumed so we can claim it was a tactic to ensure Rollapaluza success.

Yes and a very welcoming tactic it was too :)

I don't know how many points you'll get for that but morally a share of those points are mine and Tom's.

:-)

was there a Rolla plan for the 30 lap scratch as well? I saw you guys scuttle off with talk of 'team meeting' ...

on the IP I was a few seconds off the 3.50 I aimed for but it seems everyone was a little off the times from the rolla meet. from the point I was at we timed stuart h - in pointy helmet - at 3.38, then james s at 3.43 and iain c at 3.45. am presuming keith went in the 3.30s, what with his full pursuit kit. simon warren did 3.41.

Tom, Mike and I were all going for a pee.
