Senior grass track Saturday mornings

tduckett

Folks, Saturday grass track starts as above,

The session will run from 10 to 12, if you need a bike come significantly earlier to get sorted and bikes will be first come first served.
Sessions will be £3
Sessions are for novice and experienced riders...over 16 only please.

Robbie L

Excellent... will make it a regular thing

Vic

Are these sessions useful to people, such as myself, that are riding the Manchester Velodrome and need to get used to riding a track bike?

If so, count me in.

Vic

tduckett

Yes, very.

AdamR

I will aim to be there as going on the Velodrome trip.

Vic

Do we need pedals?

tduckett

Yes, bring pedals and shoes obviously

jackie Field

Hoping to make this a regular session but it is the 3rd Elvedon road race that day so hopefully next time.

Bring shoes, pedals, helmet and £3.

Vic

I'll be there about 9-30, if it is rained off I'll join the Saturday ride

AdamR

Planning to be there.

Vic

Thanks for running this mornings session Tim, hard work, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

More of the same next Saturday and hopefully, less vino on Friday night!

Stef

Yes thanks also, really good fun.

AdamR

Thanks Tim...for a bunch of novices I think we did okay.
All in once piece

Adam

tduckett

You all rode very well....impressed.

Robbie L

I'll he there as from 25 May...

tduckett

Im planning to be there tomorrow, 9.30 for a 10.00 start.

Weather looks ok at the moment.

Vic

Unless I make a miraculous recovery from the stinking cold that I have at the moment, I'll have to give tomorrow a miss.
I feel a bit like Sir Bradley looked on yesterday's stage of the Giro.

Final decision in the morning, but don't wait for me.

Stef

i plan to be there

Robbie L

I'm there the week after

tduckett

Folks, im away this weekend. I think Jackie is also away. Mark might be there, not sure.

In view of the amount of rain the track is likely to be very soggy. If anyone does ride, best to only use the middle one (there are 3 marked out at the moment) which will matter less if it gets churned. I suspect it will be too soggy to use any of it to be honest.

thanks for this note Tim........Please do NOT use the main, outer track....We will need this in good condition for Saturday 1st when we have the grass track racing.
There are other tracks.
Have fun....happy cycling.

mwyer

Yes, I'm there tomorrow if anyone else is going,
Mark.

tduckett

Folks, im away this weekend and Jackie isnt around for grass tomorrow. If there is anyone who wants to ride on saturday morning post here. Hopefully there will be a coach about.
The track is riding lovely at the mo.

mwyer

I'm working I'm afraid.

brynd

Just to say I'd be up for tomorrow, but if there's no-one around don't worry

geoffg

Just to say guys....If you have your own bike then it is your track. You are responsible for yourself so i am sure that if sensible you can use track. Sure Tim and others are o.k. with this. If you need to use a club bike then clearly one of the coaches needs to be present if only to open the container.
Preferably use the inner 3 tracks or stay off racing line of main track. If you are doing a timed lap then clearly use the main track as it's the fastest and flattest.
Have fun.

Lindsey F

I can get there for 9.45 and open the container if anyone wants to ride.

Lindsey

mwyer

I'll be there this Saturday morning.

Mark.
