Thanks for a great night, was nice to meet everyone and I'm already looking forward to the next. Glad 4f survived the crash. I took some pics as well but it was very late when I got home so I will post them tonight.

Had a great time everyone! cant wait for the next one. Really good fun.

Must agree that was highly enjoyable, though my lovely padded seat was a joy to behold this morning........

A big thanks to Dan for organising this. Good to see everyone else.

Like Fossy, I was also a bit annoyed with shoes not staying clipped in. I just lost all trust in them after the bindings broke for the third time.

Hello all, Dan passed me the times to put on here but I had a meeting this morning first thing so no chance to get them on... also I only have "real names" for people, which won't mean a lot to others on here...

So, can everyone who was there last night (apart from the few who I definitely know the real name -> CC username matching such as Fossyant, Tharg, Dan_Bo, Bokonon, MKNash, 4F, Trio) PM me with the name they gave to the Coach to note down on the list for the times - I can then match them and get the times up for all to point and laugh marvel at.

Ta muchly.

Thanks Dan Bo. Interesting to see how the different sessions panned out with different coaches and numbers.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Right then - still missing a few links between "real people"/CC users but what I have so far is:

Fossyant - 19.43
Alison (non forum) - 20.51
Mike_E - 18.37 !!!!!
Dan_Bo - 22.46
Tharg2007 - 20.25
Sh4rkyBloke - 19.30
4F - 22.17
Andy (non forum) - 20.12
MarinYork - 23.28
MKNash - 21.40
Rik (non forum) - 22.00
Trio25 - 23.02
Ilovebikes - 22.15

Well done to all, and hopefully there won't be too many bruises/aching bodies after 5 people decided to taste the track (you know who you are).

Another great session!! Cheers to Dan_Bo once again.

Nothing sudocrem doesn't fix, or a needle and thread...I have yet to mention me 'slipping' off to the missus...ahem......

Mike_E - 18.37

Damn it - beats my 18.92 from the first one. I can't have mike e "beating" me twice in a week (that's if you count your gifted win up the hill on FNRttC!)

Are you at the next one mike? I feel a match sprint or something coming on...

Get the Derny out and lets have a keirin!

 

[Aperitif]

Don't forget to factor in the 'age' "handicap" while you're busy organising a rematch Will. You should realise that a Northern mouseketeer is well versed in all aspects of velowar fare.

Well done everyone - sounds great.

We'll all be snapping at yer heals next time Mr Whipper Snapper...... provided I get some decent pedals........

yeh right who am I kidding........Mike was pretty rapid....

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

i agree, i definately can go faster than the standing start, just because i am more confident. still don't know my time yet!!!!
