2013-06-23 - Brixton Cycles Supermadison track meet

Brixton CC Supermad Celebrating the legendary Rob Jefferies
In homage to big Ron Beckett

                                                                                   Herne Hill has Madison fever. And we like to think Brixton  CC kick started this back in 2009 when it featured a Madison in its  race programme. The Madison now features in loads more Herne Hill meets  and training sessions.
                                                                                     The  Brixton meet has had a few changes since but remains a very individual  meet. This years Supermad is committed to giving women riders equity in  the prize money.
                                                                                     The lovely folk at Friends of Herne  Hill have put up £100 for the women’s Keirin alone. Thank you.
                                                                                        We have special bags of sweeties , free track bike services,  goodies galore for competitors - a cycle jumble, beer tent and our own  club chefs frying up hot chicken. And of course all set to a backdrop of  Robs favourite tunes.
                                                                                     Rob Jefferies remains a big  presence for the Supermad meet. We are committed to remembering this  outstanding cyclist and all round good bloke.
                                                                                         If  you asked Rob about his best moments in cycling he would say either  winning his first national medal - Kierin 1993- or winning the West  Thames 20K with a certain Mr Wiggins  second.
                                                                                    Now his  daughter Eve has thrown herself into track cycling. No pressure but she  got Dad and bro’ to match up to.           
                                                                                        In  1998 with Robs help George was bagging national medals with Gold in the  U16 500m TT and Bronze in the 2km pursuit and sprint.                               
                                                                                     The meet pays homage to the lovely Ron  Beckett. One of Robs and our favourite track judges and all round kind  man. We miss you both.
