CS Grupetto Open Season Track Event 2017

The lions were a surprisingly strong prize offering last year.

Interested to discover what a 'fidget spinner' is (albeit months after the kids have moved on).

Great work Sam. Disappointingly I've just realised I need to pick up the family from the airport on 5th, so I won't be able to help on the day. Sorry everyone.

Dave - if there is any prep you need done in advance, let me know. The family will be away in the week before the day, so I'll have a bit of time to help.

Thanks Sam, nice work as usual! Are you available for lap counter duties too?

Cheese all good! However I have been denied the Saturday off AGAIN even thought I put the request in yonks ago. Retail sucks.
Who's gonna visit me and when?
Also, out finance director is a keen cyclist, so I might try to sweeten the deal and get him to come along with his kiddiewinks.

Happy to do the cheese run. Don't think Dave gets into town much (as I guess he's usually out and about with customers assembling their Billy bookcases).

@Sam the sign-in is always fun, get to meet and greet the nice people taking part.

This is true, but if a question is asked I won't have the foggiest!

Happy to do results @dave_mac

Let me know if you need me to do anything in advance.

Andyp knows everything, it's cool. Failing that, you scream for Dave.

If you can navigate the CTT entry system , handing out some numbers and taking some cash will be a doddle. Its pretty simple as most will know what to do and if not Andy/Me will be around.

Cheers Pete.

Can I race the Roadmans and the B cat events? Or do I have to get whooped all day in the A's to get whooped in the Roadmans?

What is agreed with HH is riders who want to race roadmans should be racing the A's in order to maintain a quality field .

Poor Dov, you could have at least sugar-coated it.

Tactic: ride badly in the A's all day; conserve energy; win the Roadmans; guarantee the track award at the club dinner

(Just don't tell Dan)

The max ftp allowed for B cat is 263w.

I can definitely lose a watt in the next 2 weeks.

I could pick up prizes next week and ferry them to you/Ricky/Will if that's helpful. Let me know what you'd like me to do. Have car.

On reflection, I can pick up the smaller/lighter stuff by bike while commuting, so can do the cheese and Rapha prizes.

That would leave the sausage which I guess Ved would want to do. And the booze which in the past has worked as a last-minute job that involves sticking labels on the 3-pack boxes etc.

If you could pick the cheese and Rapha stuff that would be massive help. I am going to be travelling a lot over the coming weeks and won't be in London much. I'll get the beer.
