that is perfect!

I was wondering if I knew this IB haha

few recent pictures, the antisocial problems with youts seem to have calmed down now the novelty has worn off a bit. these are two visits I arranged

Those Dolans are earning their keep.

Look where you're going, not down at the ground!

hahaha! thats why they get a lap on the safetyzone to start

Have you thought about starting them from the fence? so they can get clipped in beforehand, then ride down onto the safety zone.

You start from the inner rail on indoor tracks quite often but you don't have an inner rail. They shouldn't really be clipping in as they ride along like roadies.

give me chance, these lot will get to do rolling starts next session ;-)
aware that its the best way at tracks with railings, as we just bring them back up, then explain things, then back on again.

It's actually better to start and stop novices straight away from the perimeter fence. Especially when using clips and straps.
I understand the straights at BCC are pretty flat?

yeah theres plenty of room there.

I want to ride it, godamn!

yeah, shame about work and all that other stuff we have to do.
really hope the V.C.L day is dry for everyone...

What's worse is that I can't come on the vcl day. I am determined to get down beforehand

will be about for next 2 weeks, but doing Bontrager 24/12 next w/e, be glad to show you around, drop me a p,m if youre having an awayday, you can teach me a thing or two.

BOOOOM. What a track! Hada great session down there last night with BC and some of the BCC boys and girls. Working out the quickest 200m line etc.

Very nice track. Looking forwad to going down again...

Go on, impress us with your 200 time Jim.

10.9

I've heard anything less than 9.57 is pretty good

Haha...I didn't do a full one mate just playing about on lines etc on my endurance bike...I would say the top boys will bang out 10.5 on there maybe quicker on a warm still day..My best is 11.3?? on Manchester last year..V.

Little bump for Herne Hill Velodrome's trip to Bournemouth on the 31st of July. We have enough riders for a decent group but more = merrier and cheaper.

If anyone's intending to come, but hasn't let me know yet, please do!

It was fun. The track will make for very interesting racing.
