Thumb, day 3. I'm so disappointed, I can't stand any pressure on my palm at all. The bruise is spreading up my wrist, I've ruptured vessels on the root of the thumb.

Ouch.

Bloody hell that looks a damn sight worse than mine in march. And that kept me off the bike for two months!

Hope it heals fast mate.

Have fun on this, it's an awesome track and you'll all be fine if you listen to the coach. Am pretty sure I overheard a guy telling coach Toby about this on one of the Sat PM sessions this weekend gone?

Ah, hello. I only heard the end of what you said so it didn't click until I saw this thread yesterday. You'll be able to show everyone else how to do it 🙂

Am i mental for thinking about parking my bike up in that neck of the woods?

Was going to have a blast round Clayton Vale on the mtb after work beforehand

Obviously i'm mental for riding it home round the fallowfield loop afterwards, but i'm prepared for that

I wouldn't worry scaled. If you leave it outside the velodrome, you won't be riding it home. 😕

Why not bring it inside with you?

What time you going round Clayton Vale? I might join you. Clover said there'd be space in her van to store bikes if necessary. Dunno how many though. Taking them inside could also work I reckon if they'll let you and I don't see why they wouldn't.

Not sure I'd want to leave anything visible in the back of a car either.

Yes you have a point. What's the score then with taking them in?

Indeed. Went to ride at Clayton Vale one day mid week around 12 months ago. Parked at the velodrome and noticed a Renault Espace parked alongside with a nice road bike in the back.

When I got back from the ride there was a nice road bike shaped hole in the rear window and the local cops were taking details from a very miffed owner.

There's plenty of bike storage under the starting gates , I carnt see it being a problem if u leave them there.

I've got some sort of lurgy but I think I'm going to drag myself along anyway. What could possibly go wrong?

Me and the bloke from work are both still in.

Both of us are carrying lower leg injuries and I was told by a physio last night to do nothing for a month.

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm still in. Looking forward to it. Got a slight dose of the man-flu today so working at home and doubt I'll make it to CV beforehand but you never know..

Scaled can you send me your mobile no (mail in profile) and if I'm going to make it to CV I'll text you later.

what's the recommended dress code for this sort of thing?

Judging by the crowd last time I was there, Angry Birds or Ben 10 t-shirts are de-rigeur...

You won't be cold. I usually just wear a normal t-shirt and some non-flappy but otherwise normal trousers. Oh, bring full-finger gloves if you've got some, the ones on offer at the track are a bit rubbish.

I'm on till 6 a.m tonight. If any of you need a lift home from a&e it would be easier for me if you ask the nice ambulance driver to take you to Hope.

Laters.

Still in. Aiming for 7.45, but realistically we're more likely to be there a minute before 8pm.
