Anyone fancy track cycling in Derby 2 May? (was "Track Cycling")

Sorry.
I've now seen the photos and videos - and not to mince my words - they are shite.
This is due to a combination of an iPhone camera, distance, lighting, speed and everything
If you want to see the best of a very bad lot a selection are on Faceplant

No face ache account here, so unable to see kimonnafixie.

You'll just have to use your imagination...

I expect it's a bit like this, but the other way round, a fair bit faster and with more silly hats.

Barakta has access to the book of face, and gets the same "This content is currently unavailable" error that I do.

Never mind - I have a very clear picture in my head of your first landing. I think it's described in some circles as "coming in hot". There was a lot of "Shirtshirtshirtshirt" (or something like that). You maintained just enough momentum to get to the front of the line!

Well, it's been a little while, but does anyone fancy doing some more of this? I did stage 2 yesterday. It's even better than stage 1: we went up and down on the banked turns; practised that peeling off manoeuvre when you pull up the track to drop back behind the train; cycled in pairs side-by-side and then in two trains side-by-side.

I'm going to repeat it (they seem to suggest doing each stage twice, and I don't think it's just me), on another Saturday at 6pm. If anyone who has done stage 1 already fancies joining me, please let me know.

Paul.
