Dear All

As some of you will know, I'm a honarary member of LSST, due to the help I give with coaching.

My club is the North London club, which sadly doesn't have any active racing members, but does put on a race at Tatem Park every year to support our sport.

The North London RSC race this year will be on Sunday 19th June, so I hope there will be lots of support from LSST members. The best way you can support this event, is by entering the races !

Details will be available in a few weeks, and the entry will be via the FISS website as usual, but for now, please save the date. It would be great to see lots of LSST members racing around their home track.

I hope you can come along !

Thanks

Adrian

I'm definitely up for this...given that this is the week before Le Mans, I probably wouldn't look to be ultra competitive (for fear of injury!), but try to put on a good show regardless!

Anyone else want to keep me company in Cat 2? Glenn, Fred, PeterC, Speedy Dave? Smile

Better join FISS, as I'll need a card for Les Mons innit.

Me three - though I got caught out by the online registration...I didn't realise that it was 14 days in advance :(

Might just come along for some skate. Any idea what the day rate is?

I *think* the FISS day licence is about £10-15 on top of the £10 race registration.

Well done to Rio and Harry for being the LSST podium poster boys, and to Will for his first Tatem track meet.

PeterC, Fred and I win prizes for coming away injury free, ready for the real test next weekend Smile

And Natasha won real prizes, but politely declined the opportunity to walk away with a Barbie skipping rope Laughing

Thanks to Adrian and North London for a nice day out.

It was an eye-opener for me. Thumbs Up

And definitely need to improve to beat the youngsters Embarassed

You could have done with someone videoing you Will. You got yourself into some bad boxed up positions near the end of the race and you seemed a little afraid to give big pushes, which is natural when skating among littluns, they are quite used to it though and so you can bend your knees and give it some at critical moments. It's all good experience but a video can be analysed to show you what to do, or what not to do.
