2010 Herne Hill Velodrome Track League

Its kind of more like work commitment than desperately wanting to watch the football, if you know what I mean.

Its a tough gig but someone has to do it. Judging at Herne Hill. Not much new blood coming forward to do this but we try our best.So help out by nicely telling the judges if you think you were not place correctly (But don't bother disputing a devil)
And a reminder
Brixton Cycles Club midsummer marvel - the Super Madison Track meet this Saturday 26th June Herne Hill velodrome SE24 from 2.30. Full card of races for A B and women riders alongside the Ron Beckett Double Harness Pursuit and the Super Madison finale.

EOL a mere £15 (special discount.....)

E.O.L. Entry On Line

He's neither though is he?

There's quite a few definitely older and one or two faster, if "us" means this forum.

Actually Bryan sets a fine example (apart from the hand position pictured) of how good riders should act.

Not quite sure what is wrong with the hand position??

what's right with it?

anyone remember what the programme was for tonight? how long is the madison?

6 days?

100 laps?

Anything over 5 laps is 100 laps long as far as Mike is concerned.

Anything over [STRIKE]5[/STRIKE] 12 laps is 100 laps long as far as Mike is concerned.

Come on get it right

You going tonight Andy or will you be drinking and watching footie?

I'm racing. I'll be watching the football with my daughter sat on my knee so drinking isn't really an option.

im just about to open a beer

im just about to open a beer

Stood up again...

Well I am sober so I am on my way :)

Stood up again...

Sorry dude, feel bad as reckon we could have got some decent points. Oh well, hope you found a partner (mikec??) prob did bettr!

Tom was in the points, but in the A 6 lap dash. The madison looked hard, with at least one dodgy changeover that nearly caused a crash.

you get home ok mike?

Big crash at track league tonight. Young guy euan cattermole (wee brother of JC on here) possibly broken hip or pelvis, not confirmed yet. and a few others went down cuts road rash!!

speedy recovery too all injured!

you get home ok mike?

Yes thanks. Few cuts and bruises but I'll live to fight another day. I hope Euan is ok he looked in a bad way.

glad you made it back safely mike. honestly didnt like the sound of you saying that you were cycling back but still feeling hazy.
hope everybody gets back to normal soon. will put a link to the pics i took when they have uploaded.

Hospital update! Euan's ok. Bruised his nerves or something but they're settling back down now. Night in hosptal then he'll be back on (the) track in a couple of days no doubt.

Hope everyone else is ok. There was a decent amount of road rash going about. Me and Iain are drawing up the guidelines for a crash league as we speak. No doubt Rollapaluza are leading. TT Tom and andyp must be the only rollapaluzers left unblemished this season...
