From Morley A date for the diary. 18th December is the Pies & Pursuits night at the velodrome.The point being we can ENTER ONE OR MORE TEAMS in the pursuit comp. entry opens this coming weekend. Teams of 4 and members need to have a BC licence. It's a team time trial in the warm and dry so we have experience of this. I know we have at least 10 members who are accredited. So how about it? I think it is 8 laps which is only 2km. I am keen to gave go. Who else us up for it?

I cant do this as I cant hire a bike and shoes. Im disapointed but hey ho there you go. So we now need two more riders who have their own bikes or can fit on one of our track bikes.

That would be great if he would. We need to check, is Keiran accredited to ride, does he have access to track bike and would he mind wearing GM colours?

Trefor, shoes wouldn't be an issue we just change pedals so you use your own shoes. Surely we can find/ borrow a bike from somewhere. We can train with velodrome bikes so only need one for the event. Let's not give up yet.

Yep a Great Britain team member was out riding with the Glenmarnock today. Great stuff.
I thought you had to use Look pedals. Ive got Eggbeater pedals. Its a 60cm track bike I need and I checked with the velodrome and you cant hire these on track league nights. Im on the track on Monday so ill check again. Ill ask Kieran tomorrow as Im out for a potter with him. Pretty sure he is accredited.

Well Morley, Pauline, Virginia and me did our first event last night. We finished bottom of our group and got lapped twice but it was great fun and a real buzz. A big thanks to Morley for organising us and to Sean for all the coaching.
If youre accredited for the track why not join us on a Monday for some training and if youre not accredited speak to Morley for details of how to go about it.
