Halesowen Friday Night Track League

Anyone fancy going along to the FNTL in Halesowen anytime soon?
I went past it on Sunday and it's a nice, easy run out from the city centre, about 8 miles or so.
I know there's a few people here who've been/raced there before, but how about a group ride out to watch some FREEEEEE bike racing goodness?

June 25th is Bikezilla2, July 9th is Canalleycat... so how about we go with July 2nd?

I'm in...

Been past it on the way to the Safari Park, it seemed a lot further than 8 miles away. But yeah, may be cool to check it out.

Googlemaps has it at just under 8 miles from Victoria Sq/Town Hall following the Hagley Rd.
Might be a slightly better route that increases the distance but I don't know...

Dudley Grand Prix on 10/11th July if you fancy Sat/Sun instead of the Friday night. Should be a better quality of riders from across the country too.

No-one?
Anyone?

I'm going to go, can meet Friday at 6.30/6.45pm at Five Ways Tesco if anyone wants to join me.

You'd probably have to pass my yard on the way so I would be able to meet you in Bearwood. Might be a good idea to take a less direct route than Hagley road...

Void - are you going this friday?
If so - I'm onboard

I'll be there racing. I'll come and say hello if I see anyone on fixed standing round the top of the banking! I'll be wearing yellow kit, with REDDITCH written across the back - some encouragement would be nice as I'm only 15 but have to race against all the adults cus I was too quick for the youths.

In that case pal - I'll be going ballistic for ya...

nevermind the ska, come out to the track Lawrence...

No problems btw Lee, next time. Or when cyclocross starts again we can do rides out to see that.

Dan, I texted Dan, his phone doesn't like mine though, it gets the wrong message usually, he probably now has a text I sent my gf three weeks ago.

Well I'm still up for scoping the track tomorrow.

Me too, got your number from Dan, all good.

Will be at Tesco Five Ways front door at 6.30pm.

I've been before, a couple of years ago, it was a bit dull. I'm not into the lycra scene. Used to nip in there on the way to Clent and do a couple of laps when we were kids in the olden days.

Come on - who else is up for coming over?
leaving at half six.
