2014-05-04 LFGSS Track Day VIII 2.0

were you saving pound coins for a strip club?

christ dimi you cheap skate
the places i go they only accept £20's ..... and not in change

lovely day out
quality racing on the track, quality chat in the stands

well done all racers
chapeau

Well done to everyone who raced, it was fun watching. Here're some wonky shots, it's hard to keep you camera still while ringing the bell, that's my excuse anyway.

Nice pictures Pepe! Thanks to Amey, Laner and everyone else involved, raced or watched. Great day. 10/10 would bang again.

Wow I look like fat f*cker in all the photos you took of me....must loose weight!

maybe it's the lens ?

Haha I doubt it, I wouldn't be the lightest guy out there!

Great day out. Really well run and organised, awesome weather, and loads of forumengers old and new. It was really good to see some folk again and meet a few new faces.

I raced with no expectations and had a great time doing so, a little disappointed my breakaway with ten laps to go in the devil didn't quite work out but I think Big Jens would appreciate the efforts. And crowbar's speed and energy levels meant he deservedly beat me in most races.

Huge gratefulness to everyone there, especially Amey, laner, Colin, and Jimbilly.

Oh and no crashes either...at the track at least. Wouldn't bet against some carnage on the way back from the Reej, mainly because Indra was there.

Fantastic day, really nice to see everyone in such high spirits.

Many pics to come.

Awesome day. Thanks to Amey, Laner, Hillderny and Colin for the hard work. Well done to all the riders, admire the fitness to go event after event like that.

Lovely day catching rays and catching up with old friends. Thanks for the cans Rosie.

Fixie skiddrs why you no carry lights?!

Photo dump 1.

good day, good racing. 9/10. would be 10/10 but I couldn't actually see on my way home which was a little bit stressful. Other than that, all good.

This, by the sound of it.

Branwen, thank you for the light. I thought it was pessimistic but I'm sure it spared us from certain doom. Everyone else, thank you for the competition. The sun was good, the racing was good, it was all good.

So drunk. Did I mention that?

Heading back to Le Reej in a minute...

I had fun today, massive props to amey and laner, wonderful work...

Apart from the megaphone...

Ha, Tom if its any consolation my front light went with Jim/Sam, so you're in good company!

Was an ace day :)

Thanks all for a really enjoyable and ultra relaxed (for us spectators) afternoon in the sunshine. I had no idea what races were happening but it was great to see so many of my favourite people racing (sadly impossible to cheer everyone simultaneously) and in the stands. Also lovely to chat to those I hadn't seen for ages and to finally meet DrCake!

I'll add my thanks to Amey and Laner for organising. It was awesome and couldn't have asked for a better time to start racing for the first time (in the Men's Petite classification). Good chat, good sun, good racing, great fun.

A few more:

Storming the track at the end was great.

Really great day, thanks to all involved!
Weather was amazing. And I finally got some prizes for riding around in a circle, yay!

Was great to see all of you, Indra your camera is crazy!

And big cheer for Scoot who did amazing in the all in hare & hound.

Thanks Sam, I'm still really pleased with it so I just took pictures of everything, all day.

Big cheer for you too! 48/14 everywhere.

Great riding by everyone, almost felt like a proper grownup track event.
