Monday night race training

I think we chatted briefly. I was on the maroon Robin Mather. Will look for you next time.

Ah oui! Epic bike you have, we spoke about it when waiting for the Hare and Hounds race to start...

For those who just got into track over the summer, and are only now getting to the point where they feel they're capable enough to come to race training - is there any race training on during the autumn/winter months?

only through the end of this month, as discussed i think on previous page.

Cool, I just wondered if there were any on at a different time during the week, over the darker months.

Cheers!

Someone may say to me to UTFS, but I'll ask anyway:
I thought the new surface was suitable for wet riding. Why training stops during winter (I mean in day light of course)?

Mainly because of this: http://www.savethevelodrome.com/solp/

The place is likely to be a building site this winter.

^ Lights! Amazing.

Providing they don't interfere with the cyclo-cross.

There's not many weeks it actually stops for. There is still private sessions all year round, in theory.
However, weather is too inclement to run regular scheduled public sessions during the harsher winter months. I think once we get into December and January and it's snowing and blowing a -4 degree gale you will understand.

I'm Scottish. That sounds like most weekends I spent in the woods riding downhill as a yoof! :D

Will try to go tonight if I can escape work at a decent time...

5 or 6pm start?

6 on the website, but google calendar says 5?
Seeing as sunset is 7:10.

Almost going to come to this, because it's been too long. But a pootle this afternoon suggests hip says no still so I'm out. blah.

^ Oh go on Tom! I haven't ridden the track with you in aaaaages!

I can't actually walk once I get off the bike. It's not good for me at all. But maybe.
Any idea what discipline it is tonight? Sprints/Devil/the other one and how much it costs nowadays?

Still £6, no idea what tonight's theme is.

£6 and it depends on who's leading the session.

Anyone, 5 or 6pm?

Track bike assembled, tyres inflated. Maybe maybe. Think my seatclamp is going to give up on me :/

funfunfun. punctured between the finish line and taking bike out of the car at home though. puncture fairies >>>

Last one tonight, right? Looks like the rain might hold off, who's going?
Decided that warmth and toad-in-the-hole with an ale was a better option. Today, I failed at cycling.

Fart, I thought it would rain and did not take the track bike this morning, and will miss tonight...

^ Same. Looks like it's wait till next year. When I spoke to one of the coaches on Saturday he sounded confident that the lighting proposal was likely to go ahead.

So, first session is a week on Monday, right? Also seems that there will be two Wednesday night race training sessions, too, until the league starts on the 17th.
