LFGSS Ladies Do....ALL THE BIKE THINGS

Do they have the right bikes to hire there too?
Sounds good

Yep, it says on the website that for the taster sessions they have hire bikes and helmets. There are some rules about clothing though, long sleeves and trousers and you need 'bmx gloves' but I wonder if any full fingered cycling gloves would be ok.

This looks great. IN.

i'm so glad people are keen on this idea - old faces and new faces too :)

Please no one be put off by thinking they are going to be rubbish or it's scary - we're all going to be complete beginners and I'm deffo going to be pretty nervous. But scary stuff generaly turns out to be not so scary in the end I find!

Already had a reply from one of the coaches at Lee Valley finding out more about what we want so watch this space!

Woo hoo!

We're getting somewhere...email from one of the Lee Valley coaches...

We could run a BMX session with 1 coach to 16 riders. The coaching
cost is the same as the track, £50 per hour per coach.

The hire cost for the BMX track is £100 for 2 hours, plus bike hire if
you need it. Bikes cost £10 to hire. Helmets are included. Riders need
to wear long sleeves and long bottoms.

If we can get the 16 people (which I think is do-able) we'll be looking at less that £25 a head which I think isn't too bad for coaching at a world class, Olympic facility with exclusive use of said facility.

I'm thinking a sat or sunday in september....any dates to avoid in particular??

Go! Chuck me some dates!

Not the weekend of Sept 27/28 if possible. I might also be away Sept 6/7. So I guess I'm saying 13/14 or 20/21 would be best for me.

I can't do the weekends of 6/7 or 20/21 Sep!

Another vote for the 13/14 weekend here haha.

If I hadn't pulled out of the C2C then I wouldn't be able to do 13/14th, but as it is now I am free and need to do something to take my mind off it.

Great stuff!

Looking free for 13/14 too.

Lee Valley have availability for sunday 14th....shall I say yes???

Drat! I'm filming that weekend.
My fingers are crossed for the mountain biking. REALLY want to do that one.

Yes!

Noooooo :(
I was going to make a trip back to London then for bmx ing and birthdaying if it was the 20/21st but I can't do 13th/14th as it's too close to my brothers wedding :(

I've just realised that the 14th is the final day of the Tour of Britain (in London) and a friend has put my name down to volunteer.

Yes from me Poots! Nicola wants to come too!

Nice one!

And double nice one for Nicola coming along too!

I'm sorry for all those that can't make this date though - trying to find a date to suit everyone is always going to be a mission with such busy lives, huh?

@HigginsWillDolt you'll get 1st refusal on mountain biking and Seraphinx, aren't you in London anymore??

You should come BMX'ing instead of standing around in a hi-vis tabard probably miles away from any action ; )

I'm busy that day so no can do - hope you all have fun! Thanks @pootsmanuva for organising!!
