ACC Track Championships HH 15:00 Saturday Sept 8

Postby Mark Leedham » Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:49 pm

I have booked Herne Hill Velodrome from 15:00 on Saturday Sept 8 for the ACC track Championships.

All riders and spectators welcome.

I hope you will all be inspired by GB Olympic Track Cycling Team this August and get your fixed wheel bikes out.

If you have not ridden the track before why not go to one of the VCL Track training sessions:

Hope to be there Mark. A 25 the following morning so may sit out an event from the programme depending on its make up.
Thanks for organising this again.

By the way Freddie you can rent a bike at the track cheaply, but you will have to have completed an introduction session which are run on Saturday mornings at Herne Hill. This is standard as you aren't allowed to race on the track until you've done an introduction session. They are simple but also useful to get to know a track bike and track manners.

I have discussed events with De Laune which will be:

• 10 lap warm up race
• 500m Scratch heats
• Pursuit
• 500m Scratch Final for the SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY presented by Ernie Mills for the winner of the Club’s Sprint Championship
• Devil
• 5000m Scratch. For the FIVE MILES’ CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY presented by Percy Huggett and awarded to the winner of the Club’s Five Miles Track event.

If we have enough Youth/U14 we could run additional events

Anybody fancy riding up there straight after the CR and supporting those taking part? Good excuse for lounging around and watching people peddle like crazy. :D

Hope you get some more spectators (and competitors) - it's good fun to watch, lounging on the grass in the middle of the track, shouting abuse, I mean, encouragement, at those riding. Take a pic-nic, bring the kids :D

Would be there but as I've said elsewhere - I'm on HOLIDAY :D :D

Some raw videos here of the sprint heats and final.

Heat 2 in which Phil's tactical riding is no substitute for lack of power:
