Although even I'm a little apprehensive about having 30 of us on the track at once.

mtfu Luke

Yeah! MTFU. What one earth could possibly go wrong? Couple my bike handling skills with a fast fix wheel bike and the best we'll get is carnage!!

 

[Becs]

I've already decided I'm wearing elbow pads!

Do not worry they know what they are doing at Herne Hill. After all they want us to go back to play again. I have been thinking if we get more people that want to go we could split it in to two groups and have an hour on track followed by an hours rest while group 2 ride then the second hour for group 1. What are your thoughts? Personally I would prefer one 2 hour session of 30 split in to 2 groups of 15 with one instructor per group.

The last time I rode a fixed was about 1972, and that was for about 10 minutes on my mates bike when I was 15. This could be very interesting, or very silly.

I would go with you on this.

1 two hour session slit in 2 groups

Really looking forward to this. Timing has worked out perfectly in that 2nd October should be the day I'm back on the bike after a month off - I've got the morning off work and I'll try to wangle some more time so that I don't have to disappear as soon as the session finishes.

 

[stevevw]

I have emailed Herne Hill today confirming that we have the full 30 riders and will need two instructors. I will be away on holiday until the 26th but if any of you need to drop out leave me a message on here so I can offer a place to those that did not make the cut.

Ok Boys and Girls had a reply from Iain of Herne Hill.

Hi Steve

Have just noticed the cross race myself. Should have put in the calendar ages ago which would have stopped me telling you the date was available. The cross course crosses the track so we can't run the session at the same time. We would have to move the sessions to the morning 9-11am or to the previous day

Let me know what you want to do. Very sorry for the confusion

I think we should take the earlier time rather than moving to the Saturday, what are your thoughts?

Yep I'm for the 9-11 slot although can make the Saturday if that's the majority.

 

[HaloJ]

Early is fine for myself and Martok and we can be available if the majority decides on Saturday.

Bummer, please scrub my name from the list Steve as neither alternative time or day are any good for me

 

[benborp]

I'd prefer going for earlier on the Sunday. Saturday would require more negotiations that I might not succeed in.
