2010-04-09 Fri - Hackney Drag Sprints

I just read through the entire instructions on how to get there, following it on google maps, only to find it's the other side of victoria park. Why not just cycle straight across, rather than go round?

Anyway looking forward to this one...

Will probably go across the park but gates shut at 19:45 so instructions are for those who arrive a tad late...

Meeting at 7 at the pub then moving on to the Greenway

Ah, that explains that.

Nuff rain and ting.

Out.

I don't know if many of us will make it up to cheer Jim on, but good luck ginger man!

proper thunder now, still going if its on though.

Thunder, lightening and hail may cause my self to watch this from the window.

Thunder heard and weather getting worse...looking at pushing this off till next week as it's looking pretty persistent. Will be down at Easts and the Greenway to have a wet run but figure no point running it if everyone is indoors

same as last year! i can't go as i am having dinner with my friends

and last year it rained with a bit of thunder too

whats the story - this happening?

I'll be heading down but looking to push it off till next Friday. Will be down at Easts at 7 with a look to be down at the Greenway at 7:30 for anyone who wants to give it a dry/wet run but there's no point running this without a crowd and weather is not looking great

Sorry but I've just been soaked to the bone. Next week will be good. Hot shower and a snooze in front of the television I'm afraid. I know I should HTFU but I'm knackered after a hard week.

I reckon that little storm was it and the weather will hold for the rest of the evening. That said I'm not trekking all the way over if there's a danger of the crowd consisting of 2 men and a dog. I'd vote for next week and fingers crossed for better weather (not that this is a democracy).

Good vote.

Weather looks like its passed for now.

Forecast on BBC says a break about 7 and then more rain after that. Not only that tomorrow's a bank holiday and there's loads of other tings going on, holidays, relatives etc. Peeps will have more free time next week me thinks.

If i get there and its cancelled i'l just have to swallow my pride and drink in the bloody easts pub

If anyone wants to run a warm up session, I'll be down at the Royal Inn on the Park at 7 and down at the Greenway at around 7:30 if anyone wants to give it a try for next week

another vote for next week. I got soaked coming home. if it's going to piss down later it will be less fun.

Shame. Was up for it. Sat in the lamb if anyone's up for a jar.

This weather is crazy!
