Great session with Patrick, and brilliant to see the speedy racing ladies there inspiring all of us - that includes you Kathryn and Emma who usually does the Elmers End chain gang! Well done Jo for coming along to your first RP chain gang ! great to see you there!
Thanks Patrick, really good session. Inspired to get fitter and faster now - and fix my saddle so it dosn't start wobbling...

Talking of great training sessions and racing - Has everyone seen Charlys posts about coached sessions at Cyclopark? although our session with Huw got cancelled this week, Charley has drawn our attention to a series of NEW Weds training sessions at Gravesend cyclopark on 2 upcoming Weds nights, 7pm, Only £5, payable on the evening How about a Regents Park chain gang outing? i will be signing up to either the 3rd Sept or 10th These are to train up women cyclists for a series of novice races! Info and sign up for the races here: Here is a link to the first race, using the URL off the poster: www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/117394/Cyclopark-Womens-Twilight-Series-Round-1Copy and paste into a new tab and it will take you straight there. If you want to see the later races in the series, you click on the bit on the right hand side that says 'view other events promoted by this organisier' and it takes you to the later races. Its worth booking time off work for!!

I'm currently working into the evening on both days but will see if I can swap shifts - 10th looking more do-able...

That would be great Sara, it looks like a good session! Emma is also interested in 10th. I have to check that im not meant to be 'helping' at the RP session on 3rd or 10th. Also Charly has an original post about this - but as usual, (my fault not hers) I cant find it!!
I'll direct everyone there, and we can have one chat about it (-:

I should be able to do 10th. I'm going to have to give tomorrow night at the regents park a miss as I'm just getting over a nasty bug ?

I'm waiting to hear back from someone re 10th (already had one 'no', blub)
Is tomorrow's chain gang still going ahead? Debating whether to swap off my late shift vs getting some sleep!

Hi, Yes tomorrow's RP will be going ahead; Libby will be there....please do join her so she doesnt have to amuse herself with jumping on unsuspecting mens' wheels.....
Myself and Clara will be going to the race training session at the Cyclopark: we're getting the train from New Eltham at 18:04. The train does go from Waterloo East at 17:42 and London Bridge at 17:48 but you are not allowed on with the bikes. Apparently you are allowed on with bikes 'if your journey starts in Kent' according to the website....so we shall test this out as I believe New Eltham is Kent. That train arrives into Gravesend at 18:34; so should be good for a 7pm start at the cyclopark.
I'm not sure if me and Clara are meeting and riding there together or if we meet in Eltham, but I will be riding there from Waterloo; leaving about 5pm.
Please do email me at katajenka@gmail.com if you wanna join us.
Kathryn

I have just confirmed New Eltham is not Kent, is Greenwich....still think it's worth a shot as maybe the train guard's geography is worse than mine...

I am cycling with Kathryin tomorrow! For everyone who wants to go on the 10th, Im still planning to go next week too. I can test out the 'cycle to New Eltham' plan with Kathryn.
We are also looking into all sorts of wierd and wonderful ways to get the the twilight races as well, so check Charlys original thread if you are thinking of doing these. If any of the plans look possible for ways to get to the races, I'll put them on there.
an alternative suggested by Heather (Looks good if you live in Dulwich or work further south) is to travel from Bromley south to Meopham (returns to Victoria) (its the same distance out from central London as New Eltham) but Dulwich is on the way, so Dulwich residents could do train home - pick up bike - cycle to Bromley south -then cycle 6 miles from Meophem to Cylopark.
Libby will be at Regents Park this week, have fun too RP ladies (-:
