Herne Hill Velodrome - Film Night and Good Friday open day

Heading down from about 1pm hope I can get a Fujian out... I'm still trackbikeless

That was a brilliant day. Was really impressed and sorta transfixed by the track cycling. Wish I'd got there early enough to sign up for one of the taster sessions!

Go today at 1130 then, won't be free but it's the same deal!

Really? I live in Tottenham so I doubt I'll be able to get myself down there in 30mins, but thanks for the info!

Same deal in that you don't need a track bike, can borrow a helmet etc?

you can borrow track bikes and helmets from HH. Yesterday was fun, highlights were playing grass polo (will be down at beginners polo this tuesday)
and the guy on a rental bike not knowing how to stop and riding right into our picnic...

Coupla pics here from an awesome day out.

That happened so quickly and was one of those WTF?? moments, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The bloke looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out after that.

given the options of pile of bikes, picnic or massive green open space, I still don't understand why he went for the picnic.

my back allowed him to have a soft landing. lucky it didn't do much damage!

I think the look you gave him did a lot of damage! I proper lol'd.

i was sitting on the picnic table next to where this happened. it all happened in slow motion....slow enough for someone on my table to announce 'what the fuck is peter griffin doing?'
