LondonSkaters Speed Team - Speed Skating & Rollerblading Club in London

Rick

Not sure of the race distances at this point in time. However, I am not officiating. I have entered instead. Ideally looking to car pool in mine or someone else's. Look out cat 3 there's an old skater at the back being yellow flagged Wink

Could really do with some track time but I promised myself to route check tonight.

Hello there, I would love to carpool and give you gas money instead of making the train companies more profitable.

I live around Alexandra Palace station (near Totem Park), could meet up at Finsbury Park/Kings Cross etc...

What time are you planning to leave?

Thanks in advance,

Ilona

Just stay on the Piccadilly line until you reach Osterley and I can come and pick you up from there. Kings Cross is half an 45mins the wrong way.

Need to be at Osterley for about 9am to get there in good time to have a warm up. 9:15 latest.

Ha ha ha...
Thanks Peter!

By the way, who else would like to carpool to Birmingham? Rick, how many more spots do you have in your car?

Best,
iloooona

I really liked the track last time so I'm up for car pooling.

I'll try to remember to bring my pompons and quickly try to get some LSST cheerleader outfit Smile

At the moment I'd say that I'm not racing but I may change my mind on the day.

Currently 2 slots available in the motor, but considering how slow some people are to make up their minds Wink

that's not bad.

Orsi. You still want a lift to Brum? Ilona is meeting me at Osterley Tube on Sunday morning just before 9. There are no planned works on the Piccadilly line this weekend that would affect anyone's travell.

Cheers Rick, but I think I'll stay here this time.

Sorry to pull out last minute.

Ouch, turns out the gap between 1 and 2 is a bit bigger than the one between 2 and 3.

Still, wasn't last in all the races. (In fact given that the first one was a heat I'd say I wasn't last in any of them.)

Nice to get some Cat 2 company from SWF.

Still, that's me till the champs at Tatem for the season.

I take your ouch am trump it with my tomato arse and leg scrape plus the damage to my left skate and my skinsuit. Need to find some wheels that grip there it I am to give it another shot.

Still putting most of my weight on one buttock but it's not going to affect me for Goodwood. No skating this week though.

Thanks Rick for the ride to Bir and back!

I was EXpired by the time I got home. No idea why - wasn't doing that much. I guess just the adrenalin of the first race experience.

Is there any way to get a glimpse at times for each category/racer?
