Thanks. Just getting the tape measure out.

Any more info on the categories?

The information is on the Facebook page. If you are a Briish Cycling licensed rider in categories 1-3 you'll be in the main group. If you are a cat 4 rider you get the choice of main or novice group. If you don't have a BC licence but want to race you'll be in the novice category.

Are elites not welcome?

how elite are you?

Not very.

Michael's emailed me to explain the situation.

If you need any help shouting at the last rider in the Devil or screwing up the scores in the Points I'm yer man. Otherwise, I'll just wander along and heckle in a random manner.

elite, like lap everyone elite?

Tom Stewart? :)

8 days to go...

Prizes from these guys:

Fuji Track 54" is all yours if you want it Hoke.

Fuji Track 54"

You are Didi Senft and I claim my £5.

Hey there, are you organising? Could you drop me a PM with your phone number please? Need to have a quick chat about the venue next Sunday. Cheers.

Not very.

Triple national champion on track, sounds pretty elite to me. Would be good to have you!

One of the organisers. @laner has been dealing with the Herne Hill side of things. I just do the glamour stuff.

Have 3rd cat licence (road racing), don't have HH accreditation card. Need both?

I've done an intro session and 2 days there with my club (doing mock races!) but I guess that's not enough. Will root around for my card but may have binned it when I heard they'd changed the format.

Suspect will get also spanked, 46x14 is my biggest gear (?).

Hmmm, that's a tough one. I guess we'll need to make a call on it on the day. As a cat 3 racer you should have sufficient knowledge of group racing but ideally, you'd have had more track time under your belt for the top category races. 46x14 is a bit spinny for racing.

If I can get my hands on a 13t I might come down, worst case you say no (totally fair) and I get to have beers (or get thrown in with the novice group?).

Don't forget the weekend starts tomorrow evening with Drag Sprints. Meeting up at Cycle PS for some free beers before being escorted to safety north of the river for some sprint action.

Then Circle Line X on Saturday, led by @|³|MA3K.

Then the main event on Sunday!

Greetings to one and all...

Hoping to pop down to watch on Sunday...

Now then what to wear? Mnnn anything but black I think...

The only thunder will be on the track - the weather is looking SCORCHIO !!!!!!

Any Junior races tomorrow?

Valentina enjoyed CS Grupetto BDW Memorial track day today, keen to compete again

Sorry. No junior races this time. We've already got a very packed schedule. Also, I believe there's quite a few extra hoops to jump through to put on races for under 18s.

would be good to see you though if you're still coming to heckle!

Bump for this, lovely day for to watch the former finest racing down at HH!
