SCCU Good Friday Meeting

^^ Can't stop staring at those thighs! (Not sure if lust or envy.)

Those thighs!

They have to be seen to be believed...

Pair of shaved turkeys.

Someone wants to have a word with him about those socks though.

Dare you say something to his face

Even I'd have to crouch down to do that.

Awesome picture, great rider.

But it was good to see Callum Skinner beat him to the keirin!

^^Ditto Callum did brilliantly, I think Fostermann got boxed in a bit on turn three so he started his bid for the line a bit late.

Dare you say something to his face

I was thinking about it to as I sat on his wheel but he was going too quick for me and my suddenly chance was gone.

wth was Robert Forstemann there?

he was and said afterwards via fb:
9 hours; 5 degrees; 450m flat track but i am happy ;-) Nice Day in London today... Thanks to the organizers and the great spectators at the Herne Hill Velodrome!!!

Great racing, the motor pacing blew me away, well worth a 6 hr round trip and good to see how the place is coming along.

So was the motor pacing actually scripted? I hope not as that was one of the greatest sports events I've ever seen. Maybe helped by the 4 pints...

Nearly DAS'd one of you as you sat on the start line right in front of me wearing your forum cap but didn't want to put you off. You ended up doing a little skid at the end anyway though, made me chuckle.

Felt a bit sorry for Forstemann actually - he could barely walk with dem thighs...

We got there just in time to see the Motor pacing - and what a brilliant race it was.
And a great introduction to HH for Bobbinbird,

Nice drinks at the Regent afterwards, too

Did someone picked up my gloves on Saturday btw? They were my Paul smith rapha track ones! =(

So it turns out I have awesome mates as they took me here for my stag do! Really wicked day out, watched a few great races (especially a 40 lap moto chase thing where a guy lost a lap getting a puncture, made it up and won - holy shit). Then a few beers and rollapaluza. Took 5th in the standings though Forsterman won. Best surprise ever (the meet, not losing to RF)

The view from the track

If you have ever raced Rollapaluza, now you can compare your time to:

**1 **John Paul 19.5392
**2 **Robert Forstermann 20.6187

That is the fastest time on the Rollaz for years from John Paul

Certainly impressive in that ruddy cold!

Who do you think could post the ultimate time? Track sprinter, hill-climber, bmx'er?
