Herne Hill Good Friday - Riding out

[Andrew G]

The weather's due to be good, the meeting is a classic.

I'm going to be cycling over and if anyone wants to join me for a pre-CR leg spin, the more the merrier. Pace will be that of the slowest rider so everybody's welcome.

Come and see Bradley and co in their new World Champions jerseys!

Sprint qualifying is at 11 but the main programme starts at 1pm.
I will be leaving East Croydon Station at 12 noon.

The events programme is:
c. ADEPT HANDICAP SPRINT HEATS1.00pm

2 ED TAYLOR POINTS RACE
3 WHITE HOPE SPRINT HEATS
4 INVITATION SPRINT HEATS

A definate highlight is the Motor Paced Race, this is done on Stayers bikes behind big motorbikes (the rider standing up to shield from the wind). This is not something you see very often.
A couple of pics from the 2005 Stayers Race.

[Ian A4size]

[quote]Ha, I'll be there from 9.30.

[Graham O]

I'll be heading over there, but not sure what the best way to get there is !!

If I cycle, is there a place to lock the bike up inside the track, or are you planning on leaving it outside...

Can you get a bus from Croydon on Good Friday !!

[Elliot M]

there are quite a few places to lock bikes up around the track perimeter, or you could take a train from west croydon, changing at tulse hill for herne hill - check engineering works first!

[quote]They'll no raffle this year and no cycle jumble sale neither. FYI.
