2009-08-28 Fri - Hackney Wick Drag Sprints: Second Edition

I am there.....7pm outside Catt & Mutton

Well apparently I got cut out of the list but it doesn't matter I can't make it :(

i think i'll just birng beers and yell shit if i turn up.

for those coming down, don't forget your lights. Also, if anyone who is coming along will be in the Shoreditch/Brick Lane area during working ours, please let me know as I may need something picked up

i'll be there but will be later on so may miss qualifiers.

I finish early tomorrow (before 4pm) so I could potentially swing by and grab it for you? My number should be in the polo phone numbers thread if you want to text me.

sprints or drinks with work mates?

A little off topic, but what sort of photography method yields these results, big flash with a delayed shutter speed? Does the event require an official photographer? If so, I would be happy to oblige.

Contact some of the guys who posted photos in the original thread: http://www.londonfgss.com/post903751-233.html

Errr, if you have to ask . . . I'm not sure if you're the best candidate for the job sir. ;)

Did someone say HTFU?

Cant do this now, but may pop along for the start... Someone fill 24

Maybe this can be a skid comp instead..

All three weather services I've checked say these showers will have passed by the time we start racing.
Pretty warm outside too so should dry up pretty quick.

the spot doesn't have any nearby housing, so we should be able to make a fair bit of noise without fuss so bring down horns, rattles and boomboxes to cheer people on/heckle.

The weather looks like it could be a bit of a bumpy ride through to 7 as MA3K mentions but is expected to clear up so don't start bailing at the first sign of moisture

If you get stuck, I can be reached on the following digits

Spoke cards available for 50p donation going to Sustrans http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ which is rather apt given that we'll be riding in an area covered by their routes

Has anyone got any spoke cards left over from last time? I got one when I was there but it either got nicked or fell out at some point over the last couple of months.

Think i might have a few spoke cards lying around at home from last time. Will try to remember to pick them up but don't hesitate to PM me next week if I come empty handed
