Herne Hill Saturday Training

I assume this is because the inner track isnt complete yet? Shame

Isn't Saturday 30th some kind of holy day? I don't care, I'd rather ride round in circles.

Easter Saturday is a bit of a nothing day, isn't it? You eat hot cross buns the day before and loads of chocolate the day after. All the more reason to ride round in circles in between, I would've thought.

Will there be evening weekend sessions once the lights go on?

To confirm, there is no inters session on Saturday as originally planned?

So is this saturday session is a no go this week then?

Common guies?

Full summer sessions will restart from Easter Saturday (30th Saturday) onwards.

Saturday - General Track Training
Running from 30th March 2013 to 26th October 2013

I've cleaned my bike last weekend and I'm ready:

Looks sick vince.

Those bars.

I never really understood them to be honest, someone explain?

^^this

also..bars cost more than your wheels - fail.

Wheels and cranks put together I think.

I never really understood them to be honest, someone explain?

they are aerodynamic and allow several vaguely cheat-y hand positions..

Hardly gonna make a noticeable difference with cheap wheels and cranks though?

exactly - tart's handbag :)

I've gone the other route - cheap everything!

I've gone for decent parts that I got at good prices.
Yes y'all have to tolerate my seta at the track.

Does look like they're illegal, way over the 5cm tolerance.

Yup, almost impossible to set up Sphincters to fit with in the rules. Though the "The area of the point of support of the hands on the handlebars is defined by the diagram below:" makes it a little ambiguous (you could maybe argue the point of support falls within the box, even if the entire bar doesn't). Doubt you'd ever get picked up on it unless you race anything big.

Those bars are great for 25 laps races, shit for sprint.
I'm selling my other track bars (Easton EC90 carbon) here if anyone is interested:

I've changed the chainring to a 49T this year, it should make ALL the difference...

You could argue but the UCI interpret the rules as the structure which supports the hands fitting within that area.
I have it on good authority that the UCI will be bringing their testing jig to the LFGSS track 'day' in 2013.

How do the Novice track sessions compare to the youth ones?

Standard lower, age higher
