2010 Herne Hill Velodrome Track League

Yeah that was a hard ride home, thought I wouldnt make it. Then had a lorry almost take me out, overtaking then turning left. If I wasnt going so slow Id be crushed! FUcker.

Great nights racing, though. Really enjoyed that one, good Rolla turn out too.

Thanks all for the birthday wishes, especially to y-s for the pint in the pub and Solly for trying to get me the win!

Can't believe the legs I had after 4 weeks of not riding the track. How did that happen?

Yeah,training is well over-rated!

You were like the duracell bunny in that last race, Matthew. A brave effort.

Jason said it is fancy dress night this Wednesday. (for those who dont already know)

Can someone dress up as me and get me some points? (my number is 50)

Fancy dress? Won't my 70's flares be a little dangerous on the track? I guess I could wear my vintage jersey.

The guy that rides the Chrome Bianchi said he is going to wear a Borat Mankini !

For the love of God No. You would not want to be stuck behind him :(

I may have overlooked the obvious specification that whatever you wear still has to be track legal - if not fashion legal!

Looking forward to this. Nice and sunny too :)

Sad it's coming to an end :-(

All good things come to an end James. Given your stellar performances this year I expect you to win the league next year.

Sadly I can't make tonight. Alongside the heap of essentials I've forgotten like race numbers and lights to see me home safely, in a rush this morning I packed my long sleve jersey instead of the skinsuit. It might be fancy dress, but I'm sure I won't get away with that.

How was it? I was stuck in Slough of all places!

Great!

Jeezus! Andyp has to win/lose!

So fancy dress basically meant wearing a different jersey to usual!

Just as well I didn't come then, I'd planned on painting my face up like this:

But was stuck at home with the worst case of DOMS I've ever had, can't move at all today

^^Exactly. Us cyclists are a dull lot really, but bear in mind it had to be track legal. One of the kids made an effort with dyed hair and stuff.
Was a good nights end to the season. Time to sit around getting fat and lazy :)

Jeezus! Andyp has to win/lose!

It's a beauty isn't it? I didn't come close to winning sadly.

That was tough last night. A definite end of term feel to racing too.

nice jersey andy!!!

I've had it ten years, yesterday was the first (and probably the last) time I've worn it.

Jeez andy, you are really piling on the pounds, time to go on a diet I reckon!
