yes, that's what I was attempting to say.......

final league classifications:

Individual: best three performances of the four (or more) league events, there will be a time based AND points based classification.

Team: best three performers from any one team over three events

i reckon i am in.

Hum, I think team ciderrider.com maybe on this!

Whats it like to lock up at the first event, anyone know? Is there any safe bike parking? Would like to come along and see what this is all about.

There is ample room on the barrier right outside the pub, it is about 70m long.

and there's typically enough people moving in/out, smoking, etc. that they'd have to be pretty keen to succeed. Doesn't mean you should be lax with your locking though.

We have got some serious security to deal with all the Teefs!

Cheers for the info, will defo try to make it up on Wednesday evening then. Not sure I have the nerve to make a twat of myself again in front of so many guys but I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

None of us got to see any of the action.

It was mental, 5 hours of continuous signing racers up to ride for me. The adults were complaining that they couldn't get near the sign on desk 'cos the kids were just pushing their way to the front!

I've made a twat of myself on those rollers often.. no one gives a shit. Just do it*

Just not outside or risk spending 40 days in a cell until you're deemed 'unlikely to be a terror threat"

Do you ride the rollers in trainers or cycling shoes?

trainers or cycling shoes with flat soles or recessed cleats (mtb shoes)

ok, cheers. I got Shimano shoes with recessed cleats so will be ok then?

yes

And what about trainers - would they be okay?

Not on the crappy 4-up rigs - the soles rub the cranks :(

winston hand paints the logos back on, so it's ok.

Worked OK for me. Just straighten your feet.

It was only on the yellow bike (the black frames). The spot rubbing the crank was directly over the axle, so twisting my feet would do fuck all.

You've just got baby feet.

They were special edition 'one stars' (£20 FTW), so maybe a bit chunkier...?
