Does anyone know where to get my frame set sandblasted Coventry?

Yes, if you're prepared to travel to Longford area. drop me a PM

@Steve, bang that charge on gumtree, just sodl the SE Lager after it failed to gain interest on Ebay twice.

Yes, that was me! Having a go sounds good if you've got bikes to borrow. If I can get there and it's not raining.

...

One of my bikes is an Archie Wilkinson, I bought a frame about a year ago and built it up into an everyday bike with 3-speed hub gears - so no good for the track.

I spotted you but the time my 4 laps were up you had mooched off.

Lots of bikes of all sizes and colours for borrowing, all we ask is that you bring a lid, propper shoes ( no high heels ;) ) and wear full length trousers and sleeves. Oh and gloves too. Gravel rash is baaad.

There's a race meeting this weekend if anyone would like to come and watch :)

Hi Stephen were you on a green SS/fixed?

We were only having a practice today, first race is on the 25th.

Practice this Sunday again 2-4pm all welcome, lots of bikes to borrow :)

I have private health care, fuck going to hospital.

Lucky Twat!!!

Anyone going to the final? Not sure if I can go, submitting myself to the NHS on the third, Does Rollapaluza 7 days later count as as strenuous excercise?

Practise tomorrow 2pm-4pm All Welcome!

Hearsall common, coventry.

Practice this Sunday, first one of the season.

Anyone, everyone and their dog (on a lead lol) welcome.

Well simps you see, after many years of smashing my body to pieces skating and throwing myself down gaps, my knees aren't up to scratch
Plus I got hit by a car not long ago and still not fully recovered

Excuses, you're not the only one who knows hospital staff on a first name basis...

Noooo! Good Friday

fun times, not as unfit as I thought I was for doing jack shit in the last 9 months lol

Is Barry still sulking?

Wednesday is the day of the week when most people are at work, thus making traffic the heaviest. This year Wednesday night practice will clash with speedway training in summer and gundog training in Spring.. So I'd like a different / addition(even better) polo night in Brum.

That's the first time and i'd like to hope the last time, i've ever had cramp in my arse cheek. Glad i didn't do a Barry when I knew i was losing ;)

Thanks guys, helps alot to here people cheering. so who's coming to London on good friday?

Blake, Marcus can't post to the forum from work, but has offered us a lift. We need to be in the same place for about 6:30... Will txt you shortly.

should get to the pub same ish time as us. win!

No.

Barry only likes boys in lycra so he can slyly seek self reassurance by comparing flacid penile tissue with others.

I would not ride down stoney stanton road! It's bad enough driving down it lol. Could ride on the canal? Would bring us out by Galagher retail park?

Anyone rocking lycra will get a pint from me.

even me?
I'll wear lycra if it gets me a drink!

COVENTRY*** SIGN BRITISH NUMBER TWO***

A British number two champion woman cyclist has signed to the Coventry Devlins Newsagents Cycle Speedway team for the 2012 season.

It’s another cycling challenge for bicycle mad Sarah Hanson, a 24 year old graduate from Coventry. She already competes in Mountain Biking, Bike Polo and a new craze, Rollapaluza- an indoor sport on two wheels.

Hanson is the current Midlands champion of Rollapaluza, a hyped up cycle sport based on roller cycles connected to electronic timing, set to a backdrop of dance music, cheering crowds and MC.

She reached the nationals finals in 2011 in London, losing out to self styled Londoner Miss Socks in a pulsating final to a packed crowd. The Coventry girl lost the final by an agonising 0.6 seconds.

Now Hanson is turning her attentions to the shale of Hearsall Common and the newly revived Coventry Cycle Speedway club for her latest pedal powered thrills.

She has signed full membership forms for the club, who will race in the Midlands League in 2012, after four years in the wilderness. The team will race into action in the new Cycle Speedway season when entertaining Stoke Potters at Hearsall Common on Sunday 25th March.

And, she has her sights set on reaching the British Woman’s Cycle Speedway final at Newport, Wales, in front of an expected 1,000 plus spectators on Bank Holiday Monday 27th August.

Hanson is bowled over by the reception she received from the Coventry club after stumbling across the track whilst walking her dogs on Hearsall Common one Wednesday night last summer.

She contacted the club and attended practice the following Wednesday. Sarah takes up the story, “I was looked after very well on my first visit and briefed by the main members. They had a coach there, directing things. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the organisation, such as lending bikes to newbie’s.

“Then they got in touch and asked me to take part in a friendly match, which was a blast. It’s a fabulous sport, I wish I had found it sooner and I’m encouraging others to take it up too”.

Coventry Cycle Speedway coach Jez Hughes said “There’s no doubt with her bike handling skills, allied with her fantastic fitness, that Sarah could make a real impact on Cycle Speedway. We shall be encouraging her all the way”.

COVENTRY COMPLETE NEW SIGNING

Coventry Devlins Newsagents Cycle Speedway team have completed the signing of star Polish rider Konrad Pietak ahead of the new 2012 season.

The reformed Godiva city side, back in the Midland League after four years in the wilderness, have swooped to sign the 27 year old Pietak in the face of stiff competition from rival British clubs.

The rider, from Czestochowa, in southern Poland, has several years of experience in the top Polish league. He is rated as heat leader standard and is expected to score freely for the Devlins Newsagents side in their comeback season.

He completed contract talks with Coventry last week, before signing at the weekend. Pietak will jet into the UK on Friday 23rd March, before making his Coventry debut at Hearsall Common in the season opener on Sunday 25th March against Stoke.

Pietak will live in the city with fellow Polish ace Dominik Rychardski, the former World Pairs champion. The pair were childhood friends, growing up together in the same Czestochowa street, attending the same schools.

The Polish partnership of Rychardski and Pietak will give Coventry a strong spearhead. With back-up support from returning heat leader Myke Grimes, emerging Joe Kemp and veterans Dave Frith, Norman Venson and Joe McLaughlin, Coventry are confident of holding their own.

Coventry team boss Steve Bromwich said, “We are delighted to welcome Konrad to our colours, our team and our city. We are confident he will prove a prolific scorer for us”.

ENDS

Credit where credit's due, Joe makes even me look good.

Iirc, the police station car park would be about right. But as rhb says, the Transport Museum may be of help!

Looking forward to this. Getting a lift as my legs were mullered riding home from Cov train station last year! What time are peeps rocking up at the venue?
