Title: Hersden Round 2 April 29....Old Skool round 3
Post by: TK The Mic on April 23, 2007, 09:03 AM: You wont need telling about this one, but I'm going to anyway. Round two of Hersdens summer series is this Sunday, and as everyone knows, all your favourite radders will be in action in the third round of the Old Skool Summer Series for the South Region.
At the time of writing we have 21 riders pre regged for the o/s class, if all turn up it will be a track record for numbers in one group.
Also on offer after a few enquiries from one or two riders at MK yesterday, we hope to put on some Cruiser racing, we only need 4 to make it worthwhile, but any more than that would be great.
A huge thank you to all rad members who put their hard earnt towards the trophies for this event, we are sure the kids will be very greatful, and ever huge thanks to Tibbs Cycles in Canterbury for their series sponsorship :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:.
Not to be overshadowed by the older riders, there's plenty of points up for grabs for the youngsters, with age groups starting at 7years and under.
Here is how the meeting shapes up
1. Seven years and under
2. Eight and Nine years
3. Ten and eleven years
4. CRUISERS
5. Twelve and thirteen years
6 Fourteen to sixteen years
7 Seventeen years plus
8 Girls 13 years and under
9 Old Skool

Registration starts at 10 and will close at 12.30. Registration fee is £2.50

Post by: Zippy on April 23, 2007, 02:57 PM: I/m becoming more moist as the week goes on.

I think that's the fever I'm coming down with. I'm going to be taking it very easy over the next week in order to shift it in time for Sunday. :(

OH NO - just me then with the Proper OS one footed "oh shoot can't balance for more than 2 secs "
type starts, which i do feel should be compulsory, as they are more in keeping with the OS spirit of the events . . . . . ::) :coolsmiley:

Nice one AL.

Hay Kev just do what i do, what i found makes the two pedal start easier is if you have the back wheel slightly off cock to the front wheel its easier to keep your balance then.

Post by: Zippy on April 26, 2007, 02:10 PM: As a side not if all of those attending can bring their kids along with them as well then they can 'race' too. I say race but a lot of the time it means you have to run round behind them incase they fall over. Even if they're on stabalisers it doesn't matter.

Post by: Humps00 on April 26, 2007, 10:01 PM: Some serious training going on in preparation for Sunday's Hersden event. Found SE Mark and Shane 82 over the Heath tonight - they'd been there since 4:30 apparantly - getting some jumping in. QuadPaul put in an appearance too having travelled from Canvey to get back into the groove. And that makes twice I've been there this week - beats 20 mins on the exercise bike I can tell you. Anyone else been putting in some extra effort this week?? Humps

Post by: Pro-tec on April 26, 2007, 10:21 PM: Just got over the MASSIVE Airbus mozzy bites from my first visit to the Heath four weeks ago. Will be back there just as soon as I can. I'll be easy to spot, I'll be the guy riding around in a spacesuit stinking of mozzy repellent.

Post by: 82SHANE on April 26, 2007, 11:17 PM: ME AND SE MARK SHOULD BE AT THE HEATH FRIDAY TOO IF ANY ONE WANTS TO COME ALONG FOR SOME PRACTICE!!!
