Herne Hill Saturday Training

Can't be there on 3 March but am aiming for 10 March. This year is my Year of the Track. No hills on the track.

amen to that

I'm in on the 3rd, (as long as my wheels are finished. I'm looking at you Dov!)
Busy on the 10th though unfortunatley.

When does Sunday training start?... (cant access the HH website at work.)

I've swept 50 metres of track at the working party on Saturday (150m mark to 200m mark) so I'll be there to enjoy my work!

Bravo! I turned up just after 2pm to discover there wasn't really anything left to do. Just as well, as I managed to cycle home (in jeans, great idea...) just before it started bucketing down. Bloody hope it's dry on the 3rd, can't wait.

Didn't realise it opened so soon! Just ordered new track frame and cranks, hope my new bike gets built in time.

Thanks!

SUNDAY training is slightly different this season, in that it's an un-coached, un-structured session for experienced riders who need to do specific sprint or pursuit drills. There will be no bunch training as you get on Saturdays and Mondays.
By un-coached this doesn't mean that there is no coach present or you may turn up and do as you please, it means you will need to know what training you wish to do and inform the lead coach at the beginning of the session. Sprint and pursuit efforts, either solo or with other riders, standing starts and sprint observation skills are the mainstays of this session.
We usually find that each group rotates through a 10-15min on/off schedule. So plenty of time for your 4-5 efforts plus rest in between, provided you turn up promptly for 0900.

Okay, I've looked all over the website and can't find the info I need. How much does it cost for an induction and bike rental?

Oh, cheers. Yeah, didn't look under that heading. Also, turns out Herne Hill is not where I thought it was. My geography is terrible.

Bermuda?

Not that far off, got Hillingdon and Herne confused.

So are you looking to ride at Hillingdon or Herne Hill?

Oh, Herne Hill for sure. Unless there are other tracks that are closer to me but as far as I can tell from my ten minutes on Google, Herne Hill is the only one in London. Is that right?

They just built a new one.... It's up in Stratford. They built a load of other pretty big sports venues there too. It's like some kind of 'sports village' or something.
God knows what they built it all for though.... It must of cost a lot of money.

Maybe theres some sort of big sporting event coming up?

If you are in Hillingdon, you might find Reading easier to get to.

Am not terribly keen to ride my track bike from Tottenham to Herne Hill for the ladies sessions so going to contact HH about storage but was just wondering if there is likely to be space/is there a waiting list etc?

Bung it on the train? Overland station's only a few minutes away.

Demand for existing storage is currently being assessed so best to register your interest now so if there is spare places you are on the list.

I'm going to be there in a couple of weeks too. Which bike I'm riding will also depend on whether or not I can get a storage space (I registered my interest a while back).

Interested to see if the blanket coverage of track cycling ups numbers.

container spaces -

andyp's right. this week we're working out how much space we've got and then will allocate to spaces to people on the waiting list. contact me to be put on the list.
