Also, may I propose a "riders report" system. Last year mainly me, but occasional a few other, wrote a general, 3rd person, impartial report of the night racing. Firstly, it was fun to do a few times, but when done regularly it became a bit of a bore, and any journalistic inspiration had gone. Secondly, it was tough to keep an impartial view, and more of the pieces I wrote focussed mainly on the A cat racing, and I mainly made up the B and youth reports from reading through the results.
So, I was thinking if a pool of people would be happy to write a handful of reports thoughout the year, focusing on their experiences of the night, how the races they rode in panned out (and trying to keep an eye on the other catagories, or at least using the results to piece together a mention of the other races), then it would be an interesting riders perspective on racing.
The report, along with photos and results would be posted to LondonCycleSport, British Cycling and HerneHillVelodrome.com.
So, PM me if you fancy doing a writeup or two throughout the year, on in true LFGSS tradition, start a list:
