it's a long way off yet.

I'm sure most of us will be back on gears or mtb by then

We did four hours track time with about 40 riders, you'll need a coach, we use one coach and three assisitants (non-qualified, experienced track racers)

I'm sure between us, we should know at least three experienced trackies, eh winston?

even if they are slightly "generous" with their ability to turn up on time at a given location

Hmmm, Spring 2008 - let me check my academic schedule...

... it seems I will be a hypertense, sleep-deprived, overweight, substance-dependent, clinical/exam droid.

So, I'll come and watch and bore spectators with how "I used to be that fast", and "have they got any rocks to sell".

Finally got a reply from the big cheese at Herne Hill over the weekend and he says YES! There are a few slots, any preference? The later in May the better I reckon...
Induction and use of HH bikes and helmets not a problem... Don't know about prices yet, gonna call him today...
People still up for this? :D

Yes!

Just spoke to the HH guy, top fella, it's £40 p/h for the track and £20 p/h for a coach (he reckons we'll need two) OR he's offering to share the risk and we just do it on a per rider basis (£5 or something)... He's happy to settle up the money side after the event, so we could just chuck money in on the day and if there's anything left over give it to VB for the server or summat?
I'll hit him with the 18th and 25th of May and see what comes back...
Who should we tap for sponsorship/prizes? I know I can get the good folks at Brixton Cycles to contribute...
BTW If we get rained off he'll reschedule and not charge a penny! :D

nice organising work! ..And here I was thinking it was just another drunken idea... ;-)
Can you also organise an Autumn framebuilding course? thanks.
