2012-06-16 - Velo Jam (Women's Only Track Meet)

I better start ironing my dress and wig then.

May be able to make this now - though after a day of being blown all over the river, am a little nervous about the wind (20mph - eek).

Will there be bike hire?

Oh damn! Red bull music van! I would've brought loads of vinyl down but I'm cycling from Stratford! Maybe next time...

Awesome!! x

Yes - hire bikes available, but pls turn up in plenty of time so we can allocate you one.

Bump, bump, bump...

Sun is shining and set to do so for the afternoon. We have a quality A cat field which is going to make for some awesome racing. Even if you don't want to race, please pop down and show your support x

So excited~ see you later :-)

Great day out with some excellent racing. The forum was very well represented by BianchiMasher, KatieCoo, ms_chris and doubtless many others who I haven't met yet. Inspiring how young some of the A-Cats were (and how nice their bikes were...that Bridgestone and that pink Dolan). Hope the riders involved in the crash were alright.

Fair play to everyone racing today, that wind was punishing.

Brilliant afternoon's racing - thanks to Wiesia and all others involved in organisation. Massive well done to Kat ("on here") for winning the novice omnium, and Steph, Kate and Kat for their glorious victories. Oh and Tibbs for the muff (just eaten, v v v good!).

yeah, what she^ said! :-)

Again.. What she ^^ said. Thanks for organising such a great event. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hurrah! Glad to hear it went well! Congrats forum ladies that took part!

Will results be posted anywhere?

Gaby was x-rayed and found to be intact.

Brilliant work organising this, Wiesia. More women's events FTW. I wish I could have come, but I was leading a ride.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to race, support and help out. Was rather hectic on the day so sorry that I did not get to thank you all in person.

Many people thought there was not the demand to have women's categorised racing and we have proved them all wrong. Bring on Velo Jam 2013!

Prov results and images are over on the event Facebook page...

You guys did a brilliant job. The track looked awesome and a huge turnout. Lets hope it goes from strength to strength.
