  • Hi all,

    Is there a plan to all meet somewhere local or are we meeting at Manchester at a particular time? I'm keen to find out as I may have to pop to work before setting off a need to plan this in. Has a price been set yet or are we still waiting for final numbers?

    Also Jonathan please make yourself known to me so we chat about where/when to meet.

    Ta

    Pearce / WilburT / Adam C. / Tom T. / Rich. T / J. Mac. / Tom H. / Nathaniel /

    that makes another 8-10

    I need to know the following.
    1 Who need to hire a track bike there and frame size
    2 who is making own way and who is sharing.
    3 Who has NOT done the velodrome before.

    The Date is 2nd june Sunday 6.00pm till 8.00pm
    The trip should take about 3.5hrs or thereabouts.
    Try to get there for 5.00 to 5.15pm for sign on/paying and getting changed.
    I would like to run through a few things before you ride so be ready to ride by 5.45.


    You will need
    Helmet/gloves/shoes with look delta(if riding velodrome bikes)
    2-3 energy bars and drink
    pump and rollers if you have them
    you should have a cotton vest under the lycra shirt.
    Please wear club kit if you have it.


    Please email me with questions or problems and to confirm you are coming

    geoff@ccashwell.com

    There are very good changing and showering facilities there so come with wash kit.

    Costs per head I will confirm when I have final numbers.

    I will be in Ashwell on Thursday 30th May for track. I will be helping on Saturday 1st June for our Grass Track racing and then driving up to Manchester on Sunday 2nd. I will have space for one BUT I won't be coming back as I go on to Durham after so you need a guaranteed lift back.
    I will endeavour to make sure of travelling arrangements and put people in touch with others to share lifts.
  • thanks Geoff, i will email you.

    nb - if you are hiring a bike look keo cleats wont work, has to be delta.
    you can hire shoes with the right cleats when you are there, for 4 quid i think.

    Geoff, I presume that you want all this information emailed to you?

    The National Cycling Centre web site has a useful size guide to their track bikes as well as other information.

  • yes please Vic....and thanks for the link...useful.
  • Unable to make this one . Sorry, perhaps next time.
  • thanks for the heads-up Rich.

  • Hi, wish I could come but got chiltern 100 the same day so I wouldn't be able to get there in time! Have a good one, thanks for the opportunity.
  • thanks Nat. you too

    Any spaces left in cars travelling up and back from our neck of the woods? Or if others in same boat as me (currently without a lift) i am happy to drive and car share - comes from no smoking or pets home :)
  • I have space for three without bikes or one with a bike coming back, I'm in Yorkshire on Saturday night.

    I think Geoff and Stef have space going up to Manchester, but not going back?

    Vic
  • I may well have two seats ... but still unsure if I am starting the day in Notts or Herts.
    The car is quite unwell too, fuelling issues perhaps?
  • i'm driving up but staying over so yes have spaces going up sunday afternoon, for those that can then return with Vic
  • I have room for one more and space for bikes
  • Hi peter...Andrew Leveton needs a ride with bike. You are taking Dan I understand....no details from him yet of bike/shoes...can you fill in?
  • That should be OK. Just checking with Dan.
  • Hi Peter, my email is a.leveton@hotmail.co.uk so ping me a quick email about organisation and stuff, and if you can't give me a lift then I am also happy to drive with the option of giving someone else a lift and a bike, also able to provide a bike to someone who would be using a 54cm frame if I was driving/can fit an extra bike in peter's car!
  • Andrew, I've just sent you a mail.
  • Still two return places left with me if needed?
    I'm off up t'north in a bit and won't be accessing the Forum a lot, but will check tomorrow.

    See you all in Manchester
  • Gayle ould do with a lift back Vic. She is going now so I'll take her up and if you can return her that would be great
