Sat 19th April - Rapha Roller Race, 7pm > Half midnight

LondonFgSs have put two teams forward. We'll be competing against teams sourced from cycle clubs, shops, messengers, and members of the press.

LFGSS Boys:
  • MikeC
  • badtmy
  • somebody
Trixie Chix:
  • Agata
  • Stelle
  • Juliet
Now all we need are people there, drunk, and shouting encouragement as loud as their lungs permit.

Saturday 19th April, London

Rapha presents another night of roller racing and music on Saturday 19th April in association with Rollapaluza. The evening will feature 10 London teams representing teams from all walks of life, bicycle couriers, media folk, bankers, commuters and London cycling clubs.

The 500 metre sprints pitching rider against rider will again be staged in a boxing ring. The night will also include a ‘Have-a-Go-Race’, which offers a chance for everyone to test their roller skills.

The night will feature up and coming band HMS Cyclones, while DJ's will keep the night rolling in between heats. There will be prizes of Rapha products, and a paying bar will serve both food and drink.
Come to watch, drink and cheer on London’s top teams. Tickets are limited to 500.
£7 for a single ticket or buy a three pack of tickets for £14 to get a ticket FREE, saving £7.
Limited edition Rapha Roller Race caps will be available to buy with £2 going to Leuka; a leukaemia research charity.
Discounts on selected merchandise will available from the Rapha Boutique.
A charity auction raising funds for Leuka will be held on the night.

A video of the Portland races is here:

Tickets... we have 30 of them for sale to forum members.

The deal that they have given us is 3 for 2... which means the 30 divided evenly are £4.67 per ticket. (20 * 7 = 140 / 30 = 4.6recurring). Which is a dumb number. Because I'm not going to carry enough loose change to give you all 33p back.

So... I'm going to sell 10 single tickets for £5 each, and 10 pairs of tickets for £9 each... which adds up to the £140 that I have to give the Rollapaluza/Rapha guys. ((10 x 5 = 50) + (10 x 9 = 90)).

So that's the deal...
£5 for a single ticket, 10 available.
£9 for two tickets, 10 pairs available.


And our team deserve a mention:
1. Sam - 22.17
2. grover - 22.14
3. somebody - 22.48

With Nelly too if he responds.

Tickets will be sold cash only.

First batch will be at the West London Drinks this Thursday. If you want a ticket badly and can't get there... ask someone else to buy one for you. They are first come first served.

I'll check, but I'd say no.

If I learn otherwise, I'll pay for the riders for LondonFGSS.

So whatever the answer is, none of the riders for our team will have to pay.

Nah, I've got it covered. The T-shirts will cover it. Any donations that the server gets in excess of 6 months worth of costs will be ear-marked for things like this... entry fees for races and sportifs, coaches back from Dunwich, starter whip-rounds for replacement bikes when people have accidents.

For the riders, consider yourself covered. But you'll have to get tickets for your partner, mates and stuff.

Is your pimp's money not good enough for you? Getting too big for your patent leather knee high boots, ho.

I'd also like to come along, hopefully make it to West drinks on Thursday, depending on whether I can actually put on proper shoes then (stupid suit shoes ruined my feet!)

If anyone needs a rider for their roller team let me know. I've never ridden rollers before but how hard can it be?

Or that it's warmer. I guess it's the riders job to keep us all warm though ;)

Oh, I just heard from Therese that there will be NO tickets on the door. So if you want to go, you will need a ticket off Dave (or me, if Dave runs out).
