Herne Hill - Dave Creasy Memorial Six 2012

Dave Creasy memorial Six – 2012

The Dave Creasy memorial Six - a huge success in 2011 – returns to Herne Hill Velodrome on Sunday 9th September 2012. If you haven’t quite had your fix of track racing by then due to the British summer weather, or didn’t manage to get Olympic tickets, then this event will be sure to provide some entertaining bike racing, whether you’re a spectator or rider.

The ‘Six Days of Ghent’ theme is back in with a vengenace, with riders undertaking flying Madison 200m time trial, Madison Elimination race, Derny races, and the 30km ‘Ploegkoers’ Madison among the races in the Dave Creasy memorial trophy for the senior riders, with cheesy Flandrian Euro pop, beer, frites with Mayo, and Bratwurst sausages to keep the crowd fed throughout the day. Spectators get in FREE!

For 2012, there will be a full Women’s only programme of non Madison events including a derny race, and a full Madison programme for youth riders, taking the form of the ‘DSC Talents Trophy’, inspired by the UIV Talents Cup events at Six Day Races, with ‘DSC’ keeping the memory of Dave alive. ‘Mr Creasy’s Danish line race’ returns for the younger youth riders, and there will also be a full programme of non Madison support races for 3rd and 4th category riders.

Entries for Senior and Youth Madison close on August 24th with no Entry on the line for riders in the Senior Madison. Youth riders will be placed in the youth event, not in the senior races. Entry on the line is available for other categories, but due to the popularity of the event last year, entry in advance is advised. Please enter via the BC website;

Hi all,

Thanks for the interest in the event. Its gonna be a good one! I'm currently confirming the beer supplier and we're nearly good to go!

Yes, online entries via the BC site are now closed. The Senior Madison races and Youth A madison races are now full. There is still lots of space in the supporting (B cat) races and womens events for entry on the day. I want 15 women to have separate racing, although I know one or 2 of the youth girls will be also riding the womens racing!

Spectators get in free! we have Belgie Europop, Bratwuurst sausages, burgers, beer, frites and mayo, goodies for kids, cycle jumble, condor cycles stall, Look mum no hands coffee wagon, and subject to confirmation, kiddies facepainting by the Friends of Herne Hill velodrome. To top it all we have the most entertaining racing programme in British track racing. Bring the family and the good weather!

See you there!
John

Reckon I'll pop down with my son again this Sunday, expect to see an excited child in a micralite buggy with an FSA sticker on the footplate... He loves watching the racing

Then you need to go on Saturday afternoon, because that's when this weekend's racing is!

Hello all,

I'm in the process of making the final preparations for the Dave Creasy memorial Six. The weather is booked!! So is the beer!!

If you are planning to ride in the support races, please note that sign on closes at 11:30, so please get down early to allow the volunteers to watch their own kids race etc.

I can't believe the buzz surrounding this event! It's gonna be a great day. We have confirmed the De Ver cycles are now sponsoring the Madison Devil, which has become affectionately know as the 'De-veril' :-) Spokesman have also generously sponsored the Madison flying 200m TT races (no catchy name for these though sorry!)

See you there.

To clarify my last post just in case, the youth race sign on closes at 10:30. All youth racing starts at 11:00

Cheers,
John

BUMP! This is today kids, come get your cheesy Flandrian Euro pop, beer, frites with Mayo, and Bratwurst sausages fix and watch some amazing racing!

Don't forget ya sun cream, its gonna be a hot one!

leaving for HHV soon
what a nice day for it!

Great day's racing, but my attempts to stay in the shade and avoid the sunburn were scuppered by the queues for beer and frites.

Really enjoyed the Madison events, it was the first time I'd seen them live and the changeovers and tactics were so impressive.
