2011 Herne Hill Velodrome Track League

^^ Yep, I am.

Gonna try and come tonight. Not in any kind of race shape but should be fun.

Coolio. Im really looking forward to it. I dont even feel nervous like I usually do!

I can see you viewing this thread, Mike. Sorry dude, you must be pissed off.

lol
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with my body to be honest.
My physio says I have SI join dysfunction bought on by a major muscle imbalance in my body. She has given me loads of stretching and strengthening exercises to do, but it's still bad. Some days I can barely make it home after work.

Is the track due to be resurfaced soon then?

Shit, I've been so busy with work the last couple of weeks that I haven't been paying attention. I didn't realise tonight was the first night.

Don't think I'll have time to head home after work and sort my gear out, and I certainly won't have time to shave my pins but that will keep the missus happy for another week ;)

Only just this minute applied for my racing license, BC say they'll try and rush it through and get the details to me later this afternoon just in case I can make it, but I think I'll just be spectating tonight. I'll be working lates over the next few weeks too, so now not likely to get to race until after the resurfacing. Booooooo!

I got there early on Monday and had a few flying laps clock-wise. It felt very odd.

What night are we racing the wrong way?

Give it a month or 2. I Reckon a wrong way round 3 lap dash has to happen at some point this year

This is not good. Heal quickly.

Yeah sounds painful, hopefully see you down there before too long.

Track resurfacing probably won't happen until later in the year. Not within the next 2 months anyway. Just carry on assuming it won't disrupt anything - it may well slip back to the end of the season anyway.

The website (and programmes - people read those right?) will give ample notice to practice special skills, get a team together, or bring specialist equipment for any races that require such.

I maybe trying it today, have brought helmet etc

Can we have some special races that can be done on rollers in one's own house? we can have a webcam link up to make sure everyone starts at the same time.

Just an idea for wet days.

We can haz the skid comp on wet dayz

I don't recommend skidding on tubulars, but if you really need the points...

tubuwhatlars?

Is it all about points this year?

Search me mate, points are for roadies

Is it all about points this year?

Nah, that was 2009 wasnt it? Who knows what 2011 is. You coming down Andy?

I'm not going to make it tonight, have to pick up Edie from the childminders as my other half is working late.

Yup this years all about points for me this year, last year was about point of points so would like to get a whole one this year!

That was good. No, bad. mixed bag of painful nuts. I liked the last race, and the first.

A certain Mr Symon Lewis was on Twitter yesterday worrying about how much he was going to suffer at the track league. Today he's announced that he won several races,* plus ca change c'est la meme chose.*

And served by a certain mister JC in the unknown distance. Well done JC.

they lapped me 5 times!

I was hanging on the back getting nicely pulled along. I did at least 100m on the front.

Maybe it was 50!
