Not a problem for me, I'll be more likely to track race than do that marathon.
You know me, go fast, turn left... |

I'm tempted... especially that I don't have any plans for that weekend
Need to sort out FISS membership but that won't happen till the end of this month. |

What sort've time would you be leaving?
I wouldn't mind coming to spectate/cheer-on/help-out if there is space, but I might also be hugely hung-over...
I might even have two arms again by then, but only just, so me driving probably wont be a good idea  |

Hmmmm... South London... If you normally go over Vauxhall bridge there might be a lazier option for me... (I'm halfway between Stockwell and Vauxhall stations).
Although obviously it's not much effort at all to get to HPC, even if I likely can't skate/cycle still, so not worth going out of your way.
So, count me in if there is space left over after people who're actually racing. |

| Normal policy is 1st come 1st served Barrie, so I reckon you're in! Birmingham Wheels track is georgeous, bring your skates so you can pootle on the track between the races. Of course if you're fit again, you can take part in the 'rat races' - races for non-FISS members |

| At present I only get the cast off on the 9th, so even pootling *might* be a bit too daft, even for me. |

| I'd be interested in car pooling. Especially in the light of the current cost of fuel |
