Title: club midweeks
Post by: lajames on April 21, 2014, 10:32:45 AM

Just a reminder that the club midweeks will start in earnest on Thursday 1st May. Most club members know that their help in some form, eg. timekeeper marshall, pusher off etc is deemed necessary in at least 2 of the events, leaving them free to race the remainder therfore enabling them to have qualifying rides towards the midweek trophies. This is a huge help to those that constantly forgo their rides to keep this event going. Therfore we hope that this "tradition" remains and that new members will appreciate why we have the need for it.

Would it be possible to bring the 'turn' signs to the club night, this Friday. I can then do it on my way over next Thursday.

Don't worry if not, I'll make a point of picking them up on the way home Thursday and put them up following weeks.

Lynne. Until June (and perhaps into July) I shall not be racing on Thursdays but will hope to get my quota of 'help' in during that time as pusher off or turn marshal. As far as I know so far I am good for every Thursday.
Whilst in the lock up this Friday with Steve I should pick up the new Oggie flag. At the very least it is good for indicating wind direction !

Good fun never get dropped and ideal for novices ( like me) a good chance to see some really good Tt riders in action .
Don't need a fancy bike I rode last years on my road bike.
And slightly addictive once you've done it a few times..

Nobody seems to have mentioned the feeling that you get, of your heart trying to beat right out of your chest or the taste of rising bile as you make the final push to the line!

Or is that just me?  :-[
