Good day yesterday, nice meeting more people from the forum.
Crankenstein @ yes, it was a good ride down. I think I am still recovering from the speed you went up the hill!
Btw, there was no damage done, after trying to ride flickwigs bike!

Does everyone use the same gear ratio for a proper race? and if so what is it?...apologies for the noob question but i am a noob

Hey Chewy, check this thread and all will be revealed... :)

fucktards, the lot of old tossers!

Unlucky! I thought you'd just about got the weather. Such is the way of Herne Hill tho.

Just to note - there is racing every Monday and Wednesday at the track, kick-off around 6.30pm. You need a racing licence for Monday, but you can turn up and race on the Wednesdays (the 'Go Race' races).

That said, there's a lot to be said for having the track to yourselves ... I might even sneak along to the next one ... you'll probably recognise me by my lycra!

Right, here are the available dates...
15th June
29th June
6th July
27th July
3rd Aug
10th Aug
17th Aug
Shall I bother doing a poll? 15th or 29th June sounds good to me, earlier the better really... Thoughts?

i spent the whole weekend fettling polishing replacing and the old bike looked a million dorrars ready to show all comers a clean pair of bontrager race x lites
but the rain came down and the rain came down and the rain came down darn you rain and all your wet slippyness

for the next ldnfgss track day will someone please choose a dry weekend perferably with out any wind

earlier the better here too.
only question is- will I be able to hire a bike?

15th or 29th is good with me...

Yes.

The later the better for me. Give me a chance to build and ride my new frame I am collecting today

joe i think a poll is in order...

17 days later...?

OK... Gonna keep it simple, 15th or 29th, 24hr poll... Sound OK, bar-spin boy? ;)

I've been called worse things...
you're the boss.

Finally found some time to piece together Sunday afternoon...

The LifeSaver



I think this is Peckham Pirate trying to work out which way round the track he should cycle:


General Flim Flammery



Retreating to the pub



and a close up (sadly i couldn't photograph the flies) of the sun.


Family Slain



Emilie trying to escape the advances of the Child Catcher/Slave Master, who genuinely loved track bikes



Apart from Skoota, who went over the road to listen to tunes? I've forgotten his screen name.

who is General Flim Flammery? i don't think i've met him

chris you asking my screen name or phil... who came across the rd to listen to tunes.

And, no Brendan, it was Phil's name I'd forgotten in the haze.

That scary man was somewhat entertaining. I hope I'm that crazy if I reach his age.

I can't look at that photo without thinking

fuck thats a big IF!!

Heh. You know's it.

nice to meet some of you guys down there. Pisser about the weather but then i guess it's not that much of a surprise.

Sorry about bringing the tone down with the langster - i'll bring my other bike next time.
B.

Got word back from Herne Hill and we're on for the 29th June, midday kick-off... I'll call HH cafe lady today, get 'spok cards organised and get the jumblers down again... One of you religious types will have to sort out the weather with her upstairs... IT'S ON!!!! :D

Nice work teenslain! Thanks for the effort and organizational skeeeeelz. Looking forward to this....

You are amazing dude. Good work.

teenslain... doode your work is appreciated....!

Keep it comin', more praise, MORE PRAISE!!! ;D
I'm off for a ride... :)

one of the most astounding sets I've heard in recent years Chris. I loved Brendan writing the tunes down too. Find any yet skoota? ;)

Say hi and thanks to Simon from me dude, that was an extra treat.

Simon, ha! ;)

Ahhh you have a womans flask, I wager that there hot drinks vesel has never fed the thirst of a northener!

Great work Mr Slain. you looking to re-arrange the jumble boys for the day?

Despite being a sometimes cantankerous old codger, he's on the list of djs for the Summer BBQ, sadly he didn't bring out the farmer's dub the other night. I think Brendan might owe him a Twix which he scoffed!

If you've got deep pockets, this man can help with some of those tunes:

ETA: yes, indeed it is a woooman's flask. My woman presented it to me full of tea that day.

Jumblers taken care of, just spoke to the HH cafe lady, Jan, and she's put us in the diary too...
We're sorted! :)

NIce, I was gutted about the weather. It was even worse on Monday. Looking out on the park behind my house, I thought Brixton was going to blow away -although my favorite local was still smoking a fatty spliff in the rain. Let's drink beer nightly for a clear day on the 29th. I don't know how that will help, but everything is worth a try.
