LFGSS CC - LFGSS Cycle Club

I've been away for a few days and now all I can see is lists. Can someone summarise the last 9 pages for me?

Velocio's gone to drastic measures to produce a jersey without any dinosaurs on it.

I think it's safe to assume that the reason why we all want a jersey with our name on them so we don't have to figure out whom they are when shouting "DAS".

This sadly won't work for me, as my luminous 'Hump' backpack cover will obscure the name.

Instead you invite people to chase you around looking at your arse trying to work out your name

Lists

One thing I thought about this morning. To use the track you need a certain amount of coaches per rider on the track. Do we have registered coaches among us or would the track be able to arrange something?

I think it's just a Health & Safety thing, I could have done mine years ago but didn't think I'd need it.

A side effect of actually being a club is that I hope that two things happen on this front (and the volunteer marshall stuff mentioned before):

1) Those who are qualified and do this stuff step forward and want to work with the club.

2) Those who might be interested in helping step up and do so.

For track days at the velodrome I've no doubt that in the worst case we could attract coaches to help, but if we already had those people in our midst it would be a good thing.

I think in general that the 90-9-1 rule ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) ) that applies to online forums kinda applies to the real life.

And that by building such a huge club, that naturally the core of doers that support the many riders also grows.

Velocio's gone to drastic measures to produce a jersey without any dinosaurs on it.

Much to my chagrin, the world isn't ready for the glory of a fois gras pink My Little Pony on it's hind legs and ready to steal the sandwiches of those winning the races.

I've been away for a few days and now all I can see is lists. Can someone summarise the last 9 pages for me?

We're creating a cycle club, from and for forumengers. To help people try out more types of cycling, and with the ulterior motive of a large club gaining access more readily to facilities such as the London velodrome.

The side effect of this decision is:
1) We get a new and decent jersey
2) We get a name we can choose to ride under, and this time it will exist rather than be fictitious
3) Through sheer numbers we can access facilities and open doors that might be closed to "large bunch of people off the internet"
4) We gain some official status that might help people on the forum do more stuff

The over-arching mission statement is simply to help people try more cycle related sports, and to give people access to facilities that might not be accessible to them.

We're not trying to compete with competitive clubs, our club is in the spirit of the forum "Fuck it, this will be a laugh". And if anyone is looking to be nurtured and support in any sports environment then we would encourage you to join London Dynamo, VCL, or the many other clubs that take things more seriously.

That said, there's nothing stopping you being a member of many clubs, so people who race can remain in LFGSS too.

Entry to the club will be dirt cheap. The jersey will be affordable.

It will be set up as a CASC (Community Amateur Sports Club) and that means non-profit and reinvesting any profits back into the club (events and social events).

We will affiliate with British Cycling and Cycling Time Trials.

It will be a laugh.

Oh, and finally... with such killer timing we can be a feather in the cap of every cycle body desperate to claim some Olympic legacy, which in turn might help us get even more access to facilities.

And jonny is going to organise our first club ride, on the club launch day, when everyone receives their new jersey.

I've been away for a few days and now all I can see is lists. Can someone summarise the last 9 pages for me?

The track day at HH was rained off...

LFGSS - "A roof - we need a roof! Let's go to the Olympic Velodrome its got like a roof and shit"

Velodrome Rules - "You cant come near all our lovely siberian pine - unless your an official cycle club or a school or Chris Hoy"

LFGSS - "Lets start a club with a Jersey and look al official and shit... Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys Jerseys"

LFGSS - "Who's in?"

LFGSS - "Lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists"

So it's all because of weather. Meh.

And someone mentioned that Skully wanted to host a sportive for all the lovelly roadies in the south east.

Velocio's gone to drastic measures to produce a jersey without any dinosaurs on it.

But.... what about the unicorns?

Aha, cheers Velocio. Count me in then I guess (I am already in a srs bsns club, who I never ride with I am srs lzy), though I cannot face adding myself to the epic list. Thanks for sorting this out.

LFGSS - "Lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists lists"

Yes, this is why I don't fancy adding myself to the epic list...

but it is an epic list driven by really positive ideas about developing the community, opening doors, doing more wonderful things and roofs. i'm in.

That skully, he sure does love competitive cycling in all it's forms.

Skully told me that he wants to hold a sportive ending at a music festival.

daily mailfest?

but it is an epic list driven by really positive ideas about developing the community, opening doors, doing more wonderful things and roofs. i'm in.

And legacy. Don't forget the legacy.

I thought VB was all about the bleeding edge. nightly builds and everything lives in beta for it's full lifecycle.

Club region.

It seems that London isn't a region, and that London is split by three British Cycling regions: Central, East, South East (of England).

http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/article/bcst-Regional---Home-Country-Postcodes

As a result I've been asked to pick where LFGSS is located, a pin on a map... I've dropped the in central London, in the EC1A post-code right in the middle of London.

That puts us in the East region.

This is basically irrelevant, but if we ever acquired ambition and stopped drinking as much, apparently this is where the region where the club standing will be listed.

Same region as Rollapaluza cc then.

Does it make any difference really or is it just for the regional points leaderboard so that clubs can gloat to their neighbors?

It might matter if anyone wants to ride a regional championship event.

It makes no real difference.

Though it does highlight the insanity of BC cutting up the capital city into 3 major regions.

Herne Hill is in the South East region, Regents Park in Central, the Olympic Park in East.

A short ride around London and you are in 3 different regions. They must've been smoking something the day that they thought that a smart idea.

They should've kept London as one regardless of what region it belonged in. I wonder if they've split any other city like this... only Guildford, which they seem to love to spell incorrectly.
