    we are going to need lots of helpers for both our events. Adults as well as youthriders. We currently have 18 youth with racing licences so I am hoping for a full house.
    The club has 28 grass track bikes and some riders have their own so we have the bikes...all we need are the riders.
    Get down to Saturday sessions and get involved.

    The 15th September event will be the end of the grass track season officially and we will have full marquee with BBQ and festivities.
    Hopefully Mark Wyer can also organise go-ride racing for our youngest club members...something for everyone.
  • On for tmw weather permitting.
  • Im away camping (wish me luck) so won't be there tomorrow. Its all cut and ready to go though. Have fun.
  • Camping? Don't forget to pack your aqualung...
  • Weather looking good. Grass track looking good. My beers looking fantastic. Hoping England don't spoil the party.
  • Bit windy for us today. Still 5 of us managed to bash out a 6 lap scratch race, 10 lap intervals and a lap TT.
    Keep in there - see you after LEJOG.
  • I will be at the track from 9.30 tomorrow. Not many of the usual riders around i dont think, maybe a good day for any newbies to have a go?
  • Tim I'll be there as well.

    Adam
  • Weather looking iffy for this Saturday morning but if it's ok Stevie and I will be there.
  • Tis a bit. Ill be there anyway as Hector has football next door
  • plan to go for a road ride tomorrow as i am getting so little in these days as saturday is my best chance of a ride on the weekends.
    would there be any interest in an evening grass track session in the week or is there too much going on?
  • Vincent you can have both! I'll be at the grass track and am currently planning to head off towards Saffron Walden afterwards if you would like to join.

    Adam
  • It is so good that we are doing these training sessions. Mind you the real fun comes when we actually race.

    *** JULY 14th BIGGLESWADE ***

    I know Robbie was planning on going and I am. What about you James? Tim have you signed up yet? Adam, you owe it to yourself. Mark? Stevie? Vince?
  • having seen Mark's sportive tester planned for sunday i could always get miles in on that. Mark how about adding that to the sunday ride section on the forum to get more takers.
    unsure about energy levels for track and to be honest the race in Letchworth was really tough, given how unfit I am to race. hope i am not just getting old but do feel totally unprepared for the interval style of riding which is grass track. I hope it is general lack of conditioning rather than something more sinister. so eitherway still only a maybe for track riding tomorrow. See how i feel in the morning.
  • Folks, Ive got a sick Hector this morning and wont be able to make it. Mark, are you still able to go and unlock?
    Sorry

  • am planning to be there. I think the weather is ok to start with on saturday.

  • I will try to get to Small Gains on Saturday morning. I might try to arrive early as I need to leave by 10:15 at the latest.

    Daniel
  • Looking good for tomorrow now. Stevie and I should be there.

    Daniel if you are leaving at 10:15 then that's usually before the bike setup phaffing has finished and the warm up starts!
