Herne Hill Saturday Training

Saturday is intermediates from 10-12, then induction and novices after that.
Advanced is on Sundays.

cheers, weslito.

@Weslito if its maximal effort, and sessions ending in a sprint you want, try the Sunday Advanced sessions, if you/the Saturday coaches think you'll be up for it.

It's been much faster than that in the past!
I don't like doing a rotation at the end. It's nice when the final session turns into a scratch race and you can give it everything. The rotation never really sped up today, we got stuck behind the slow group on the last lap. Was disappointing.

It's not all about speed, it's about technique and track craft for the intermediates. If you want to race go to Monday nights.

i am loving these new saturdays training

^ thats great to hear. Hopefully this years new format means that its easier for everyone to find their level, and stick with that session. If you want more, bigger, faster, stronger, then there's always a harder session to do.

Also remember, the weekend sessions are training sessions, aimed at fitness and skill. The Monday race training session, Wednesday track league and other weekend race meetings are where you get the chance to put that fitness and skill to the test.

i feel that i am improving loads, as before i was feeling that there was no challenge.

today i managed to finish always with the pack and the fast rotation rotation wasn't that slow...it got borderline fast when having to pass the slower group but i stuck to ie and made it in the end.

i am loving it.

i have been too lazy to attend mondays which i always regret but beers and park have won this summer.

how is the weather, south?

Not raining, but ground is quite wet in SW6. I'm not bothering.

Digger told me that is really wet near HH
thanks weslito too

se13 its raining pretty solidly now. the fine stuff that gets you really wet.

rapha sale instead :)

What's the availability of the £2 hire Fujis like in the Saturday morning intermediate session?

I'm (nervously) contemplating making the move up from the novice session, but I've got pretty used to being able to ride a Fuji there and I'm not very keen to go back to the free bikes. Wasn't sure if busier session means less Fujis, or better riders means more people have their own bike.

Cheers

That sounds hopeful. Cheers.

I suppose it's also time to give in and get some lycra isn't it?

That is the way of things

i love the guys who come to the track, and wear baggy shorts on top of lycra shorts..... it's common sense in reverse.

Wasn't that you a year ago?

Yup.

i love the guys

That's what it says on the toilet wall at the track.

'Hoops, he digs the dudes'

hell no!

i have never worn baggy shorts at the track.
fact.
