LFGSS to Manchester Velodrome Semptember

Rob was talking about this, taking a road trip up in a van or two deepening on numbers and riding the Manchester velodrome. just looking to see if there is any interest, then we can figure out cost and dates.

thought the talk was of a trip to calshot??

still i'd be up for either

it was, and i realized that as soon as i hit post. i'm not too bright see.

I'm up for it but with the usual date caveat.

Sounds like mad fun, back permitting...

Manchester, it's a long way away at a time that I know I'll be travelling for work and my girl is starting her PHD. Result? I'm going to be broke and tired and thankful of the couple of weekends I can get.

Now, Herne Hill in August or September... totally.

While the weather could possibly still be nice it makes sense to stay at Herne Hill. But when the weather turns in October it makes more sense to head to an indoor velodrome such as Calshot or Manchester.

My 2p.

+1 for Calshot

or Newport...if traffic is good its only 2.5 hours away...beautiful track, similar to Manchester, hire bikes are Pinarellos....think I've typed this more than once on this forum......

so should we say vote yes if you want a road trip to a velodrome? and then pick one latter, calshot seems to be the winner so far.

I'll ride up and then drink while you lot ride around in circles? You can carry my beer in the van. Sorted.

Ovals not circles. What do they teach you at school these days?

I don't go to school these days.. perhaps that's the problem?

Totally down for Calshot... Mini.Cooper's already got in touch with them for details...

these are proper 45 degree boards where you'll get shouted at by gruff northern men if you don't ride properly.

I imagine manchester will be quite busy of a saturday morning, 30 hairy-arsed, lairy cockney cunts with unsuitable bikes should go down very well..

I put my name down, of course.

They're used to thousands of them every other Saturday during the football season - they're called Red scum. ;-(

fackin Norfen MANKEYS

i fucking hate northerners, and The North.

bastards.

yeahh I don't like going North of Barnet. I would have to say the Calshot option is favoured

Cool. Any ideas on pricing yet?

Totally up for this (as well ast the Sept HH). Please don't make it a Saturday though!

I'd love to go to Manchester or to Calshot. Sounds ace

Manchester is North of the Watford Gap and hence doesn't exist anyway ;]

We'd best go to Calshot instead.

i'm in for calshot, i could also take a few passengers.
