Herne Hill Saturday Training

.

^^ yeah the session does runs through the winter but will start at 11 instead, but as you mention you have to bring your own bike

^ for the crash, the kid was alright a few cuts and bruises but he was more in shock because of the crash (hopefully nothing broken) the crash happened on the second to last lap when just a clash of wheels with another rider on the back straight, hopefully this helps.

Cheers HoKe

Cheers guys, no bike as yet, will come along when I get some cash together to buy one... hope it stays dry this Saturday, want to get a run out before the end of the season.

If I want to turn up to the youth session with some friends on Saturday, do I need to bring a parent or guardian?

.

Thanks kopopk, it is the last week, that's why I'm so desperate to make it!

Indra Ripper all you need to bring is contact details and £2 each. I think this is the last week for the youth though..

Are you sure about that?

Anyone under 18, riding at HH for the first time, would need to have a parental consent form filled out by a parent or guardian.

It depends if he's ridden there before and there is already a consent form on file.

Ah crap, I rode there a couple of times when I was around 10 or 11 but the two friends I am brining haven't, is there any way to get the forms online?

I could not find any forms to download on the HH website. To guarantee to be able to ride today, I would've thought you'd need to persuade one of your parents guardian to accompany you. I'm sure there is something you can do to strike a deal with your parents!

Good luck and if you do get to ride, smile alot it makes it more fun.

Picked a hell of a day to finally move up to intermediates... Cold and windy. Dropped off at the very end, was totally frozen. Glad I did it before the winter though!

Just home from my induction. It was totally fantastic, and thankfully the rain held off. Feel utterly broken now having sat down, but I can't wait to get back down there.
A couple of the HH guys said there might be more sessions through the winter for beginners, they're just trying to persuade the coaches/sort out days.
There are non coached slower sessions for people with their own bikes as well, would any other beginners be up for doing this?

Thanks to all the HH volunteers that have made the beginners sessions so great, see you all in the spring!

I went to the youth session today with a friend, parental consent forms were not needed.
Rode my own bike, felt like a complete fool.
If anyone saw a Langster steel with two Aerospokes there today......

Why did you feel like a fool? You cannot as feel as foolish as your other friend who didn't come with you today. Who had the most fun today? Did you smile alot?

I had great fun, definitely comin back at least twice a month next year.
I felt silly because my bikes kinda flashy but I have next to no experience on the track lol

Is beginner training on Saturdays finished for the year? I've been meaning to go for many months now but work has got in the way, now I have free time the sessions are no longer on the live calendar until March next year lol.

I was in the same situation as you but with school and stuff, I finally managed to get down last week for the last week of season. I started talking to the dude renting out bikes to people and he said they might squeez a session in this week if the weather was ok, he said check the website an twitter.
If I see that it's on then I'll post here.

There is going to be an intermediate track session this Saturday at 11am

Just FYI, the winter Saturday sessions are a steady 1.5 hr chain gang style session for intermediate and advanced riders. It's not going to be a carbon copy of the summer intermediate sessions.
