Is Killrney PPA training on tonight? Great day for Killarney!

[bikemonster]

Yes.

 

And yes!

[Spat]

Will be my first session looking forward to it.

Please take note that a car was broken into last night at Killarney whilst everyone was on the track. As usual nobody saw anything. The car car was forced open and a woman lost her brand new iPhone and a bag containing some clothes. I don't want to sound alarmist about this but please be aware of your valuables during training and racing at Killarney. The PPA is aware of this incident and may issue a cautionary notice.

Ah, dammit, and I was thinking how nice it was to have so many people there last night in such good weather! Hope PPA can prevent this!

Where was the broken-into car parked?

 

I saw some people parking out of the way, near the Harp Motorsport workshop (which backs onto the back straight), and at the time I wondered if that was not a dodgy place to park.

 

Thor Buttox, please tell us it wasn't you, in a case of nominative determinism, displaying furry butt-crack through a pair of too-old blue cycling shorts.

I was using them to distract everyone from the burglary at the back end of the circuit.

 

But sadly, no, 'twas not I. I don't even have a road bike, so cannot force myself to wear tights!

A lot of people turned up at the track last night, so many were forced to park a little out of the way. Unfortunately when so many people gather in one place this will attract those scumbags seeking to take advantage. Perhaps we need to pay a little more to have a security guard or two for the hour we're on the track. Divided up amongst the riders this could be as little as R1 extra per rider, assuming that a rate of R60 per guard per hour is reasonable ...

Don't see any problem with that idea. There's only one way into the "in-field" as far as i can tell, and I'm fairly sure that noone was seen scurrying across the track and leaping over the fence, but i could be wrong.

 

Think the guys with high-end wheels should fit the bill - a performance tax, if you like. Would ease my inferiority complex, at least.
