Good Friday Meeting at Herne Hill

Postby Andrew G » Sun Apr 09, 2006 9:51 pm

Progamme of events at :

Looking at the rider list Sean Yates is on leave from Discovery again to compete, also Bradley Wiggins in the 10min pursuit (assuming he survived Paris-Roubaix in one piece). And as if that wasn't enough I gather ACC's very own Richard Viney is competing.

I'm going to ride over. Is there an agreeable "club run" going? If so does anyone have a suggested meeting time / venue?

Cheers,
Andrew.

I was going to get the train but if people are riding up then that sounds better. Where do you put your bikes?

[quote]Where do you put your bikes?


I've driven before, but I have been for the last few years and there's always tons of bikes there. They have either been locked to a rack/railing or left next to the owner on the grass behind them as the racks fill up pretty quickly. It's always been a fairly friendly place - full of bikies rather than hoodies.

I suppose it depends how many ACC go. If there's a group of us it should be easy to keep track of them. I might play safe and take a lock anyway.

I'm near Selsdon. Is an East Croydon Station meet any good?

1st event's at 1 so 12 or 12.30 start?

Any preference for a route, I was thinking up to Crystal Palace and down through Dulwich rather than fight through Streatham and Brixton traffic.

Anybody else know a more scenic route (if one exists).

I have a free entry for a 'helper' if anyone wants it.

Pluses - free entry to the event.

Minuses - you'll have to turn up when I do (about 10.00am for some heats).

Qualifications - you have to be capable of holding a bike upright for a start. :shock:

Let me know if you want it.

East Croydon at 12, leave when everyone gets there.

Please post if you are thinking of riding so I know who to wait for.
Thanks.

Folks - I'm trying to convince la famille that is a grrrreat way to spend Good Friday. My 3 year old Daughter has a fine tradition of watching cycling having seen the tour de france, tour of britain, an acc tt and the paths of king nikola road race in montenegro 2 weeks ago (honest!!). Thought she might like some of this velodrome malarkey.

Forgive my ignorance - can you pay on the door or does this event sell out...?

Cheers - Snoop

Yes pay on door I think I'll be selling tickets there at some point.

There are reduced fees for families too :D

But no indoor parking, cars will be directed to nearby sports club parkings.

It's drizzling here in Putney at the moment :(

Hopefully it will dry up... Anyone know how they play it if the track is damp? :|
