if your down dave i may do my induction ...

i've a spare pair of wheels you can chuck on the cougar


oops, sorry got confused - nopehavn't got another track suitable bike. Just use one of the ones they have down there. They're are perfectly good, you can swap out the pedals if needs be

aidan, i need to do my induction as well.

I'll doubt i'll get out of bed for the induction, was going to head down about 10am to catch the second session.

Same here. Thinking of switching from 46x15 to 46x14.

I'm all spun out.

I am doing an induction at 5.30 on Monday night if anyone is up for joining me there. Weather permitting of course. I will hire a bike when I am there

cool...dale do you want to do it together?
dave i could just put the wheels from my fort on the cougar for the ride down there...
i do need a shorter quill stem.and i need a helmet..do they have helmets there?

oh yeah, they have some great helmets :)

ahhh whats wrong with them!?
i'm going to need some cycling shorts as well...

ahh crap. I need a helmet too. I am so unprepared for this sort of thing. Was that sarcasm dt?

not sure of us doing it aidan, but yeah, i would like to do the induction. dt you sleepy head, we'll have to ride by and throw stones at your windows (well join the locals doing it).

they have helmets, all sorts of sizes etc. Just in some very loud colours etc.

They have everything you need, you can just walk in, pay your money, and they'll provide everything you need. And you don't need to be in lycra, you can do it in whatever clothes you want

i *might* manage to get out of bed to watch you do the induction,but i'm not promising anything

get hops to wake you up with bacon and eggs in bed, then come down!

I'll be ridding down with a rear wheel on my back

Cheers dt.
The weather looks great for tomorrow.
Dale, if I do not get too pissed tonight I may see you down there at 8.45 tomorrow. If not I will go on Monday

aido, i'll get out of bed and ride down with you in the morning. But make sure you get up!

i was just about to drop out...but now it looks like im going all the way.
i need a new stem...dave do you have a quill stem that will fit the cougar?

um maybe - pop around tonight

i shall...

look like the whole polo set will be there. Me Mike Michel and Agata are going to the induction 2.

All you need is a helmet and drops BUT the drops have to have bartape on

Track grips are fine an' all, funnily enough...

cool. obviously listed as ugliest to prettiest :p

Also need end plugs. I won't be there as I'm taking a Sat morning off from coaching but enjoy yourselves. I've just arrived home from the track and there must have been 30 kids on for the session.

yup i got caught out ont this last time. must have lost one one the wya

think i might have to head over too, what time is it at..? 8.45 at herne hill? how much is it?

looks like the forum will be in session tomorrow,
+1 to how much to hire bikes, may have to get some extra cash out, cause I'm assuming they don't take cards...

it cost 3 pounds...i think that covers bike hire but i'm not sure.
try a search...there is another discussion about herne hill.
see you down there corny!

just got back, mad fun, the 2nd session from 10.30, which I have to say I didn't join in on was really fucking quick,
great day for it.
anyone looking to do the LFGSS track day, get yourself down and do the induction a couple of weeks before, then you can really enjoy the day itself.
If the weathers good I'll be back there for 10am next week and get some laps in with the big boys.

just got back did the induction which is useful in terms of track etiquette, but it was too busy today to really learn very much, then had a crack at the second session, but gave up after two races in the intermediate group, as i'm cream crackered!

found that as soon as you lost a wheel everyone just shot off, despite the fact that i was quite comfortably in the first few people for the first half of the race.

really good fun and cheap as chips, well worth a go

Great morning in the sun, was a great laugh cycling over there and seeing al the crazy people who stroll round london at 8am on a saturday morning!

It was a record turnout today...155 in total! great to see so many people.

I am unfit....I discovered today.

Failed to get down the road early enough for the induction, but it was cracking weather for it. Funny watching the hipsters being lapped by the lycras. The fast group was fast. Hope to do the induction soon.

Ps. perfect opportunitiy for a game of "Where's Dogsballs?"

most of you guys left just before the big CRASH....no-one seriously hurt but looked dramatic.

That was a really good morning, and so cheap! Good to see the LFGSS out in force.
Sorry to Dogsballs for pulling out of the fast race. It was just to much for me.

Anyone who has'nt done the induction should give it ago. Hopefully it wont be as busy next time.

Whos up for Monday free session?

As Corny's already said, 'mad fun'... Shame I had to run off before the hardcore session to witness our glorious victory over the DirtyRedMancScumbagz in the soccerball with Monsieur Blackfoot... Anyways, brill time and great to see so many folks down there... See ya Monday
