2009-05-24 Sun 12pm - LFGSS Track Day 3: Edge of Tarckness... at Herne Hill Velodrome

They're fantastic.

I should be down, but only after the Monaco GP (I am a slave to formula 1) What time is the racing until? I should be clear at 3pm-am I destined for pub fun only?
I'm not racing (hahah can you imagine!) just watching

@ coppiThat - amazing photos

Was major taylor present here?

Awesome pics... If HH was a ladywoman, she would be mine forever... I love the place with all of my tiny, dark and miserable heart... I thought it was destiny, 'til I realised how slow I really was... Oh well...

Break out the Ambre Solaire kids!

23 degrees and sunny....

I might pop by just before heading home, despite the detour.

Break out the immac kids!

23 degrees and sunny....

fixed

would anyone be able to lend me:
a chain whip
a freewheel tool
a headset spanner

while at the track? i'd really appreciate it...

i can do chainwhip

brilliant!
(thanks!)

I'll bring a headset spanner along for you damo.

i know its always nice to have your own tools but if it was thought through there could be a way that a bike could be completely stripped and rebuilt trackside with everybody bringing only one tool....... just a thought and an idea to save us all cycling with four kilos of spanners and track pumps.

sorry if i missed something

cheers andy!
i'll bring a lockring spanner and some other bits and pieces....i've got a track pump that is on it's last legs i think...worth bringing?

No problem.

There are track pumps you can use already there.

that would be the obvious thing. wouldn't it. a track pump. at the track.

Cheeky I know. Unable to make this due to another commitment. But I'd really like a spokecard. Any SE going able to pick one up for me? I'll reimburse the quid on Tuesday night. Cheers.

CoppiThat has kindly offered. Cheers.

Technically, the track does not have any, it will be someone's. But there should be plenty of people with pumps on the day I would think.

Good pre-induction videos on the BBC Sport website(handy for those new to the track):

got my helmet yesterday :-)

Erm, should have said earlier, but I'm in. Weather looks great, I'm nowhere near fit, and I'm looking to blame my failings from last time on an incorrect gear choice.
