Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

An open invitation to come and try the track to DHBC members will now be on Saturday 2nd March 2013 at 1pm.

If you have a track bike, bring that. Otherwise you will need:
• Pedals and shoes (road ones are fine);
• Cycling kit including helmet
• A current CA licence (Gold, Silver is fine)
• Water and sun protection (it will be hot in the afternoon)


We do need to know numbers however so please put your name below.

I'm keen for a go if someone is trusting enough to lend me track bike.

Hey jonboy, we do have club bikes in the shed, although numbers are limited. i recon place your bike size and we can figure out a suitable loaner.

Hi , is this open track day the same one as the womens track program or is the womens track program separate?

Thanks ... Jacqui

there is a separate women's program starting the same day.
it seems that they both start @ the same time

We decided that they will be on the same day to allow our friendly mechanics to help set up bikes for all rather than have two separate days...

Start time is actually 1pm for this event and 3pm for the ladies specific one. Please try and get down a little early than the start time otherwise we will spend half the time setting up bikes.

Eleri could you please edit the time in your post.

cheers.

There might have to be a bit of sharing going on as we dont have all that many 'loan bikes' especially in larger sizes.

Big red is the only bike over 56cm, so there will be a lot of red loving going on.

big bird is there, and it's big too, but i think it may need a rear wheel. and DO NOT take bits off the junior bikes!!! we just got them organized (and labeled, so if you do take them apart put them back the way they started. please )

Looks like at least 3 or more tall people will be sharing 1 bike!

or riding small-ish-er bikes.
plus you'r supposed to ride a track bike running on the small side.

As long as my knees don't hit the handle bars

I can bring my 58 cm Fuji down for people to play with on a "you break it, you bought it" basis.

A late change of plans was annouced at the weekly cabinet meeting last night. The Minister bluntly expressed her desire to start off on holidays a day earlier than previously planned. My apologies, I will have to withdraw.

The weather isn't looking that brilliant but if the track is too wet i will run a roller session downstairs, so come along anyway.

Also if possible could everyone try and arrive on time, as it always talks longer than expected to set the bikes up and we only have limited track time available.

cheers,

alex.

Am I right in thinking that at this point the track is just going to be too wet to ride on?

Yes Andrew... The plan is rollers in the under croft.

I'm out (bicycle/scooter is my only means of transport and it's raining). No rollers for me.
I'm still keen to have a go on the track at some later date though. Bummer...I was really looking forward to it.

Yeah I'm out too then, have rollers at home and I don't ride them there either :p looking forward to doing it again sometime though.

Yes I'm out too but looking forward to trying the track soon. Simon W

I will wimp out of track in the rain ( or rollers in the sauna ).
Keen to try another dry day.

I'm thinking about introducing a rule that if you dont ride the rollers when it rains you arent allowed to ride on the track in the dry. This should stop all this wimpiness

Guilty your honor

Too much rain. I too don't own a car. That's my excuse.
Just read Colin's posting. I'm back in for Sat 9 March, 1-3pm.


Marc aka marc2131 (loan bike, 60cm) - heard 'big red' will fit.

No excuses of that sort for me.
I'm a wimp.
In fact, I don't even run on wet running tracks or treadmills either.

Marc - are you sure there is a "come try the track" session on on Sat 9 March, 1-3pm?
I believe Colins post was meant to be put on Forum on last Friday.

Hi All,

looks like it's going to be a nice day to ride the track, the rains going to stay away.

Can I ask that everyone get there a bit early, 12:30-45, so we can get the most of the 2 hrs as we're off at 3 on the dot.

thanks

Colin

Can you strike Dougies name off the list?
I have it on good authority that he's been racing track professionally.
