2013 Herne Hill Track League (sponsored by Cycling Weekly)

Karma is a bitch :(

Who is the elder gent on a Pinarello two weeks ago, a Cervelo T3 with disc last week and a Look 496 yesterday? Phenomenal bike collection.

The legend, Doug Conroy. You should see his wheel collection!

You may find it will be a different track bike with different wheels next week and the week after. Ad infinitum.

That was just a fraction of his epic collection. This is some of the kit he took the World Masters champs last year just to ride three events:

I would love to see the full collection. Might have to start taking a camera on Wednesdays.

Start a new thread and post all pictures of his bikes there.

When are results up then? Want confirmation of my snail pace in flying 200 and nil points in the block pursuit (when I thought I had finally scored).

^ Still gutted about that :(

Our points man is on holiday so it might be a bit late this week. We'll have the full set of flying 200 times after next week, so can pull them all together.

Is tonight the last chance for flying 200s? Don't think two weeks touring will have been the best training for sprinting!

Even numbers this week so yes.

It looks like there's a lot of rain forecast for this evening. I think I'm going to have to make the journey down anyway because there's no way I want to miss out on a 200m TT!

Hopefully it's rained off then :p

Forecast looks like rain is easing off and may even be non-existent! Unlucky, Michael. :)

I'm going to have to Wiggins out of tonight, not feeling well and this weather is hardly encouraging me to get outside. Fingers crossed for a postponement of the 200m...

I decided to give it a miss on the basis of this morning's forecast (don't have a bike storage space, so it's logistically complicated to get there). Kicking myself now it's looking like it's going to dry out :-(

I don't know about that. It is fairly wet in Hammersmith.

Rain failed to stop play. Only 30 As, Bs and Cs bothered to turn up though.

Bloody jessies!

I enjoyed that.

I got 12.53s in the flying 200m!!!! Fastest time of the night (I believe). 0.13s off the current track league record. My first ever time doing it. :-) It kind of sucked though because my 82mm deep carbon tubular front got a slow puncture on the ride there so I had to borrow a shallow, aluminium wheel. Oh, what could have been...

Nice - well done! Probably take some more time off if it was dry.

^^ Nice one dude!

Well done!

Thanks for the congratulations, guys. Match sprints next Wednesday! Hoping to do well in them as I'm definitely more sprint inclined. Riding for more than 1000m at a time doesn't interest me. :P
