Herne Hill Velodrome

[Davywalnuts]

Looking forward to this. I've not been riding all week so I should be nice and fresh.

What are people doing about pedals? I can't decide between taking normal trainers and using their pedals and strap (which I don't like) or taking my Looks off my road bike.
I'll be on my new bike which has got SPDs fitted so I could use them

Too many choices

I can see me filling up my panniers with shoes and pedals and not having room for anything else

You have panniers??? Surely not on the Bianchi??? Surely thats a cardinal sin?????

You riding in? Ive got a feeling I might get lost...

Am semi tempted in swopping my pedals over to the old straps ones, or taking a bag with trainers in...... I think am going to do the former...

Oh oh, new bike, whats that all about?

 

[Davywalnuts]

PS, am currently down with a cold, but am turning up anyhow.

No not on my Bianchi, that would be so wrong

Got myself a single speed Ridgeback, which will become a fixed soon, with panniers for my commute and going to the shops.

I've had a mild flu for a few days, so took today off to get rid of it, which is why I haven't been riding.

I should really, but I'll have to work out the way first.
Should be able to get to Clapham Junction ok, then need to work out the route from there.

[redjedi]

I think this is the easiest route

I'll bring an A-Z as well

We need to be there for 12.15, I'd like to leave at about 11. Can you make it to mine for that time?

 

[redjedi]

I've just been checking the weather sites.

I hope they're as in-accurate as usual.

Conflicting reports on the weather front. Metcheck = Good, Met Office = Bad
