Hello
Has any body out there got a track bike I could borrow I need on with approx 54 cm top tube. I know its not a bike many people have, but worth a try if any one has one.
Thanks a lot.

Present today were Ben, John, el presi, jonathan, Jeromi ,Damien , C johnson and myself fry up. I would like to give a warm welcome to Jeromi [have i spelt that correct?] who had his first run out on a club run today, and Damien who has been out with us before and who i knew when riding together with the Halifax imps, good to see them both and hopefully again. So on a warm and overcast morning we set off on our normal route at a brisk pace, quickly reaching marsden where we saw Derick waving at us from the cafe as we hit the bottom of the hill, laughing as we hit the long drag to the top. As we regrouped at the summit, we where met by Martin. So off we went again, opting not to stop at uppermill but go straight to Glossop. Once at the cafe [for the record, full English] strines moor was discussed, and it seemed to be agreed we would all go back via woodhead, however Martin and Jeromi sped off for snake pass and thats the last we saw of them. Can we have a report on the road surface Martin? see you all next week, phil j

The 10 mile Veterans race was held on Saturday on the V718 in splendid sunny conditions.It was a welcomed change to see everyone smiling and buzzing at HQ prior to the event.The day was sunny and warm for this time of year with nothing more than a gentle breeze to hinder the riders progress.The event was won by Steve Gore Brown 20.05 and fastest lady was Lynne Taylor 21.06.Thorpers in action were:John Lancaster 22.18, a good time despite having a bad cough (naughty boy, should have rested!). I think we will see John back to top form this season.John Hatfield 23.58 , still dialling in his Ridley bike set up.Paul Brierly 22.26 , I know he’s not a Thorper but almost.Andy Callaghan 21.55, 9 seconds off a PB so early in the season…. come on me babby!Derrick Milner 30.36, did’nt see Derrick to speak to, good ride, much respect.It’s the Ravensthorpe 10 next Saturady over at Fairburn. I will be marshalling and Linda will be on tea duty. If you are’nt racing try and attend to help out.It will be interesting to see how Ed Clancy goes ?See you up the road.
