Sun June 29th, High-noon - LondonFgSs Spring Track Day Event at Herne Hill Velodrome

Calshot is crazy steep. Lovely.
shall we get the ambulance on standby??!

LOL! You'll probably need it. Saw one guy trying to ride the very top fairly slowly. Clipped his r/h pedal on the banking and next thing you know he's slid all the way to the bottom. Cue lots of burning skin!

a nine is only an upside down 6 but a ten is a big fat ONE.

p.s. - I also have no idea what i'm talking about (qoute: i came 2nd in the repercharge keiran final, behind the guy on the blue fort! which makes me 9th. got no idea what you talkin about.)

I had a really long dream last night about being at the track day and not being allowed to ride cause I had no bar plugs. Then them rest of the dream was spent trying to fill the ends with things like wine corks but nothing would fit and then I missed all the racing. Metaphor for being annoyed I missed it I reckon.

there's this one near southhampton - Calshot velodrome :

I haven't ridden Calshot, but everyone who has raves about it. Would love to try it!

you're not allowed to come this time.

OK. Sorry for the lateness here but here's a link to my pics from the day. It's mostly pics from the races themselves and there there are some good "race faces" in there.

MikeC, Hillbilly, SainsburysEd, Dogsballs, Corny, Shinscar, Jonny, Trampsparadise, MiniCooper, Mashton, et al. you're all in here so if wanted a memento from the day feel free to download.

This is my favourite pic. I seem to be getting my arse ready to have it kicked in the 3 lap dash.

Cool Chris, I like the pics, some even show me in front

Definitely Chris, your pics probably show more action and 'race faces' than any others!
Nice pics from everyone though.

Heh, yea. Was that the 3-lap dash final? Or a race for the next tattoo?

great photo's chris

yeah, great photos guys - really caught the day nicely. boy, were we serious out there!

Serious? Why was everyone (including me) laughing then?

you're always laughing fruitbat ;)

this is a good racing one!

Yeah - the contrast between your gritty determination and Hillbilly's impish grin makes that one my favourite.

Is the guy in the middle of this pic (white helmet/white dolan) the guy that is refered to as Kristian B?

Yup, that's Kristian B... Really cool pix! :)

Yeah good pics.

I know Kris and have ridden with him a few times. He's fast as so not surprised to see he's name in the top three for a few events.

Not sure how I came 5th in the Keirin - I was in the toilet at the time :S

Scarlett, I'm pretty sure you missed the final of the 3 lap dash, then raced in the Kieren final.

i think scarlett was having a final pebble dash.

Oh yeah, that's it. I remember the Keirin now. Still fucked off at twatishly getting boxed in when the pace was a bit pedestrian to be honest. [/bitter]

stop being a girl BMMF! :p
