Thursday night derny training

updating my portfolio as i need to find work :(

Is derny training on tonight?

Yes - the calendar on the site is all up to date.

The track is shut from 18th July.

Looked at tomorrow's forecast. There's a possibility(!) it'll be dry, but the wind looks mental (16mph with 40mph gusts). What're the chances of getting to breathe some petrol fumes for a bit?

So difficult to say, unfortunately. If it is dry, a judgement will have to be made on the evening whether or not it's too windy to ride safely behind a derny. If the wind speeds are as you say then it's unlikely to be on.

As expected. Ta!

So, how's it looking? I need to plead with the office to get out early if it's a goer, so a heads up would be handy :)

Hope its on...Whats the wind like now? metcheck says 10mph winds..Gusts of 12

I'm working in a basement with about 4 feet of stone between me and the outside world, so I'm not exactly in touch either =/

I'm hoping it's on too... But I'm in Stockwell at the mo, and it's windy as hell.... If it's this bad in HH, i'd be suprised if its on.

Still over 2 hours to go so it might be ok then..

No harm in angling to get out early anyway. The ride home will inform me of the weather enough I guess. Plan sorted.

Check the HH twitter at 6:00!

It's quite blowy in my office in Brixton, but then I do have my fan on.

Hard life in tricky towers.

Just spoke with joseph and he is there already. Apparently very windy but they may still run it.

Just got back to Brixton from town - very gusty out there..what to do?

Yeah I didn't enjoy the ride home too much, and I've got a few hours of lifting boxes later this evening, so I'm going to give this one a miss. So annoying, what with it being dry and all. Might ride down on the road bike just to stretch the legs and see what's what though.

For all your weather needs, check the www.twitter.com/hernehillvel twitter feed. Also viewable from www.vcl.org.uk's side bar, and the brand new www.hernehillvelodrome.com website once it launches next week.

if it says this track is safe to surf, I guess it's safe to surf.

What was it like!?
Wind here was/is nuts, can't believe it was OK at HH?

It was double bastard windy. Double bastard hard work too.
Tonight I learned that deep section carbon wheels do not have a good working relationship with gail force winds.

Strong work from Tony & Joeseph on the dernys to keep it all in order.

Hoops posted up on Strava so it definitely went ahead.

I stopped by to watch the windy fun. Was surprised it went ahead, but no fatalities = all good!

the gusts were more head on rather than sideways so it didn't feel dangerous, just hard work.
