  • I should also ask if you've ever cycled on the track before? You will need at least an induction session under your belt to do any racing on Sunday.

  • Number of racers will be massively dependent on who turns up, obviously.

    The A/B qualifier will involve everybody and split the groups roughly in half by ability and is in the format of a standard race, first past the line.

    The devil - a number of safe laps then last man over the line every lap is out.

    Keirin - follow jimbilly round the track for a bit then sprint the last 200m, first over the line wins

    Points - when the bell rings the first x number of riders over the line get points based on their position. this happens every other lap or so until the race finishes. person with the most points wins.

    Hare & Hounds. Two groups start on opposite sides of the track, fast group have to catch up with the slower group and then whoever crosses the line first wins.

    Number of laps, who knows?

  • Roboto being has pipped me to the post. Victory stolen from me just before the line.

    With the kerin shouldn't it be following jimbilly for 3 laps and the 4th and last lap is when jimbilly pulls off is the sprint lap ?

  • probably. I haven't been anywhere near a velodrome since the last track day and I don't really care for this cycling lark so have no idea on the specifics.

  • I almost forgot this is coming up.
    I need to lay off the pizza for a few days!

    Please can we try to fit in some sprints?

  • no way you're sitting in group B Hoke..

  • Balls Atiba's coming ;-) Another rider who's younger and faster than me...

  • no way you're sitting in group B Hoke..

    But I'm old and slow now...I promise!

  • That's program looks like a lot of effort actually, I'll make you guys do 200 lap scratch instead.

  • Fuck yes, back in. Unless hippy turns up.

    (because I'm confident in my masochism, but not to the extent of hippy).

  • Back in! Amsterdam starts the day after now so loutish heckling it is.

  • Back in! Amsterdam starts the day after now so loutish heckling it is.

    heckling from trackside, or right in the thick of it?

  • Tempted to challenge Laner's disc on a rental bike but I reckon trackside this time. Compatible with more drinks this way.

  • Can we have an update on the prizes on offer?
    Or to put it another way.. an update on which prizes have gone missing?

  • none gone missing; still the same

  • Wouldn't worry about it Tommy. Prize structure is unlikely to affect you :)

  • Sorry just took myself out of the racers list and into spectators/ drinkers
