Roller/Turbo winter training @ Herne Hill

Yep endurance. JJS is back on coaching duties this week so we'll see what he's got in store for us.

I hope to get there tonight.

Did the turbos get checked over/fixed last Saturday?

I might try rollers if its endurnace night.

Whats the music for tonight?

I tidied up the turbo container and there is now a "spares" box behind the closed door in the container where all the bits that fall off the turbos live. I think missing parts was the major problem with most of the few that were an issue. If you pick a turbo that's missing a piece, check the box!

Matt, you in tonight or too busy focussing on healing? I'll be rolling straight there from town if you want to convoy it over.

Sorry Tom - late reply i know! I thought it better to not ride the bike with stitches in, plus i felt like i'd been hit by a bus most of last week!

I'll be in this week all being well - how many sessions are left?

Got the track bike built up after forking out for a Dolan, just posted in the current projects if you want a sneaky peek ;-) This Saturday coming will be its maiden voyage!

Last minute bump. Is it a Thursday? I lose track.

I thought the velodrome had been saved?

Yep - its on tonight. Intervals.

The velodrome's got a long way to go to be saved!

I'm all out of change atm and can't withdraw cash due to card issues, leaving me a bit high and dry. will it be alright if I pay doubley next week?
/cheeky request

I'm in, heading down there now. See you all soon!

yay scarface!

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

On tonight? Finally am going to be able to make it down.

Yeah there's this week and next week left if i remeber correctly! I'm currently 50/50 as to wheather to show up...

i'd be tempted for tonight.... dont know if i'll be able to get away from work in time though.
have people been bringing geared bikes or track bikes?

Run What Ya Brung

Indeed, i currently come and play on a 531 fixed gear conversion. Bit flexible but does the job!

I'm gonna have the chance to go home and change bikes if needs be.
Would people reccommend a geared or fixed (Obvs fixed stiffer but geared will be easier to get home on!!)

I do it on gears, but that's because I like the ability to fine tune effort/cadence. Plus it gives me an excuse to ride it in to work, which is always nice.
(in for tonight - is this going to be a projector novelty session, JC?)

Its about a 50/50 split in the group between fixed/geared
You can use rollers or turbos.
Ride what you are most comfortable on, as your gonna spend 1 1/2 hours on it!

'In the marque, no one can hear you scream'

I never listen in class - Whats projector novelty session?

Thought J was going to be projecting some kind of sufferfest entertainment this week to make the pain more interesting.

Not his holiday vids again??

Lol, sold - i'm in!

What time you rolling out from town Matt? If they let me out of here promptly I'll try and catch you.
In other news, I'm actually going to have a proper lunch today so I don't feel like passing out mid-interval like last week.
