Number three. Great to see old friends and new faces. Lets see if we can get the numbers for the next one.

 

[colly]

Number 2 for me.

Thanks for starting the ball rolling @dan_bo and thanks to @I like Skol for running with it and organising everything. Nice to catch up with some familiar faces too.
Here's to the next outing.

My grandaughter took some photos so when I get them I'll post on here.

Firstly apologies for not staying to socialise after the ride, but family commitments in Marple Bridge and Stockport meant time was tight after the ride.
Secondly a big thanks to @dan_bo and @I like Skol for the admin side of things.
It was my first time on a track and first time riding fixed and really enjoyed it. I suspect my thighs are going to hurt tomorrow though, so some intervals before next time.
I know Mrs B and child 2 took some pictures, but they are not around for 2 - 3 hours, so I shall see what they have and if they can be posted.
I was number 13.

First time on a track and first time on fixed. Surprising how easy it was to get used to it. Will be up for the next one, gonna put some training in after holding @I like Skol wheel for a few laps at the end and then blowing up badly. I was #4

Sorry @colly you weren't on the group shot for some reason?

Recovering after the two hours of torture.....

And Final shot from me, having a little chat in the café afterwards.

Thanks for coming guys

Post-exercise euphoria. Forget everything I said

Oh what a shame. My fans will be SO disappointed.

 

[DCLane]

Sorry to have missed it - and I hope to be at the next one with my 14yo.

On another note, if anyone is looking for a track bike we'll soon be selling his small sized Avanti Pista Pro: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/avanti-pista-pro-2016/ . Very competitive but easy to handle, this one's never had a crash and put him on 2 national podiums this year. Asking £300 for it.

I'll sort something easy out for some time in the new year Nick, just to introduce you gently...…

By the way, I have another option for your DIY problem. Did the thing I gave you fit your nuts ok? If you just need a little less length then I may have the answer. Phone is on charge at the moment but I will try to give you a ring later on.

Blimey Skol, I know why you're on about but others might not!
