  • think i might have to head over too, what time is it at..? 8.45 at herne hill? how much is it?

  • looks like the forum will be in session tomorrow,
    +1 to how much to hire bikes, may have to get some extra cash out, cause I'm assuming they don't take cards...

  • it cost 3 pounds...i think that covers bike hire but i'm not sure.
    try a search...there is another discussion about herne hill.
    see you down there corny!

  • just got back, mad fun, the 2nd session from 10.30, which I have to say I didn't join in on was really fucking quick,
    great day for it.
    anyone looking to do the LFGSS track day, get yourself down and do the induction a couple of weeks before, then you can really enjoy the day itself.
    If the weathers good I'll be back there for 10am next week and get some laps in with the big boys.

  • just got back did the induction which is useful in terms of track etiquette, but it was too busy today to really learn very much, then had a crack at the second session, but gave up after two races in the intermediate group, as i'm cream crackered!

    found that as soon as you lost a wheel everyone just shot off, despite the fact that i was quite comfortably in the first few people for the first half of the race.

    really good fun and cheap as chips, well worth a go

    Great morning in the sun, was a great laugh cycling over there and seeing al the crazy people who stroll round london at 8am on a saturday morning!

  • It was a record turnout today...155 in total! great to see so many people.

    I am unfit....I discovered today.

  • Failed to get down the road early enough for the induction, but it was cracking weather for it. Funny watching the hipsters being lapped by the lycras. The fast group was fast. Hope to do the induction soon.

  • Ps. perfect opportunitiy for a game of "Where's Dogsballs?"

  • most of you guys left just before the big CRASH....no-one seriously hurt but looked dramatic.

  • That was a really good morning, and so cheap! Good to see the LFGSS out in force.
    Sorry to Dogsballs for pulling out of the fast race. It was just to much for me.

    Anyone who has'nt done the induction should give it ago. Hopefully it wont be as busy next time.

    Whos up for Monday free session?

  • As Corny's already said, 'mad fun'... Shame I had to run off before the hardcore session to witness our glorious victory over the DirtyRedMancScumbagz in the soccerball with Monsieur Blackfoot... Anyways, brill time and great to see so many folks down there... See ya Monday night Mr Hillbilly! :D

  • most of you guys left just before the big CRASH....no-one seriously hurt but looked dramatic.

    It sounded dramatic too - especially as it happened just behind me.

    My legs ache now, and trying to stop-start through Central London traffic on an 87" gear is not very practical.

  • Great morning, session becomes a bit difficult to manage with that many and a strong wind in the back straight, but I think most people left with tired legs and thats what counts. One yougster from the crash smashed his helmet to bits so was off to hospital to have his noggin checked out but he seemed fine, his main concern was missing out on the Calshot track session he was to attend tommorrow.

  • good day! really nice weather...i'll be there on monday! :D

  • amazing day. Bit sunburnt now believe it or not. I will be down next week weather permiting. and nether thought id say it but buying lycra now.

  • Sunburnt here too. The recent shite weather made me (and my pastey Celtic Cockney skin) complacent.

  • I also caught the sun as did Charlene and Emelia as well, I always get caught out by the strength of the sun on a spring day at Herne Hill.

  • Ps. perfect opportunitiy for a game of "Where's Dogsballs?"
    out the back door of the fast group!! fucking hillbilly and this macho bloke stuff :p

  • I just looked in the mirror....bugger me!

  • me too..

    it's gonna sting in the morning..

  • out the back door of the fast group!! fucking hillbilly and this macho bloke stuff :p

    HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm not macho, I pulled out after 4 laps on the fast group! You da man for finishing!

  • HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm not macho, I pulled out after 4 laps on the fast group! You da man for finishing!
    Excuse me young man are you the fellow with the arm flames?

  • Excuse me young man are you the fellow with the arm flames?

    Yes that is me. What have I done? And it was'nt me.
