Will get some pics up here shortly

Thanks to everyone who showed up to race, support and help out. Was rather hectic on the day so sorry that I did not get to thank you all in person.

Many people thought there was not the demand to have women's categorised racing and we have proved them all wrong. Bring on Velo Jam 2013!

Prov results and images are over on the event Facebook page...

Bump, bump, bump...

Sun is shining and set to do so for the afternoon. We have a quality A cat field which is going to make for some awesome racing. Even if you don't want to race, please pop down and show your support x

May be able to make this now - though after a day of being blown all over the river, am a little nervous about the wind (20mph - eek).

Will there be bike hire?

Yes - hire bikes available, but pls turn up in plenty of time so we can allocate you one.

Awesome!! x

I'll bring records. What time?

Event starts at 14:30 til 18:00, no schedule. We have one guy doing the whole lot at the mo, so just text me on zero7900684609 to let me know what time you can do.

Ladies - sorry for not posting on here for a while but I have been away for past few sessions.

We have started a new group on Facebook for the women's track sessions to make it easier to find info about whether session is running, as I cant always get onto the forum. Please join the group if you want to be kept in the loop with what is going on.

This week end we are going to start introducing some racing into the training for those who are going to be racing in Velo Jam.

We rode last night and it drizzled all the way through the evening and the tarmac was wet. A lot of riders went home because they either thought it was going to be called off or didn't fancy riding on the wet tarmac. I guess they will decide on a case by case basis. They called off the last race but that was due to light not the wet surface.

Hoops - I raced the points race after and it was actually fine.

Just spoke with joseph and he is there already. Apparently very windy but they may still run it.

Online entry now open for Velo jam

Def after work. I work 9-6 and def will not be doing it before.

Just trying to work out best day to do it. I was thinking of Monday but that clashes with race training at the velodrome.

I need to sus out what other chain gangs happen at the park.

We have plenty of time.
Also, thinking about starting some women's only chain gangs in regents park in a few weeks if you are interested?

Well done ladies, it was an really lovely session.

We are going keep the first part of the session the same each week so you can see how you are improving over the weeks.

I have just created a page for Velo Jam in the track section of the forum. Now I am thinking it may be better suited in the ladies part. Is anyone able to move it for me?

Due to the huge success of our women's track sessions we have decided to take things one step further and organise a women's only track meet.
Please help us make the event a success by spreading the word to friends, girl-friends, colleagues, etc. And boys... there will be a 1-lap dash drag race to keep you entertained!

**VELO JAM **
Date: Saturday 16 June
Location: Herne Hill Velodrome

Velo Jam with the MuleBar Girls and AnaNichoola is a concept based on the belief that something needs to be done to tap into all the women out there who want to be taken seriously and race track.

With a hefty prize pot of £750 plus loads of goodies, Velo Jam will be attracting and rewarding high level racers. It gives women the chance to race in a field of just other women.

But it is not all about the elite, with 3 categories of racers, ensuring that just because you are female, you will not be expected to race outside of your level. A, B and Go-Race! categories gives something for everyone.

Velo Jam Go-Race! will see women racing on the track for the first time in a welcoming environment.

Not to mention there will be music, stalls and a barbeque to keep the husband and kids entertained!

PS - Those wanting to ride the Go-Race! category need to have attended at least one track training session to be able to race. We have hire bikes that can be used free of charge.

WUTM will be coming to our track session on Sunday. First 12 girls to click attending and comment on the event wall will receive a free muffin!

Just a reminder to all you trackies that there is a women's only session that runs every Sunday from 13.30 - 16.00 (this will move back to 15.30 - 18.00 once clocks change)

We ran the first session of the season last week and had a huge turn out. Details are already posted on ladies thread but I would really appreciate it if you could spread the word to your mates, colleagues, girlfriends, etc...

We welcome complete novices through to experienced track riders, the group is split according to ability to ensure everyone gets a good workout. It costs the normal £6 and bikes are available to hire free of charge.

Info on the session can be found on our facebook page
