Based about ten miles out from Central London, Brands Hatch is a dream circuit and one where we've had a few trackdays already. What we've done this time round though is to get the circuit for ourselves. Imagine that? All LB riders! Join us and have a great time!<br><br>Like anything LB does, the event is open to all riders, regardless of the bike or rider experience. We have the standard three group arrangement which means riders are seperated intro groups according to their experience of track riding (not road-riding). This means if you're an absolute novice or have never ridden on track but love the idea of the learning to control your bike better or to have more fun in a safer environment than the road, then you can come along and ride in the Novice group. More experienced riders are catered for in the Intermediate and Advanced groups.<br><br>We've had a glimpse of the weather to come this year already with some amazingly above-average warm and sunny days, so we're all hyped up for this day and can't wait to get back out to the track after a winter off! Come along, ride the track and enjoy the day with existing or new friends you'll make. Even if you can't ride or don't want to (huh?!) then you can come and be a part of the atmosphere as a spectator and be with the riders.<br><br>For booking or more information, hit the following MSV pages. The price is £145 (we don't make any money on this) for the whole day. As with any trackday, you need to book early to ensure a place. Placements go quick!<br><br><br>[b]Booking details and discussion here:[/b]<br><br>http://londonbikers.com/forums/Topic313681-58-1.aspx<br><br><br>[img]http://londonbikers.com/galleries/img.aspx?g=b0a414a6-8a65-4494-bcf5-348a488bcd9d&i=de68767f-83ee-457c-9dc5-d8255db29deb[/img]Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:59:12 GMTJayhttp://londonbikers.com/forums/Event15.aspxAnother Flatout ride-out to celebrate Loopy's birthday.

We hope to see you there next week!<br><br>[b]History:[/b]<br><br>We have a history of regular weekly meets going right back to the early days of LB where we used to meet at the Ace Cafe. From there we changed to The Cubana in Waterloo as a summer meet, but it was all out in the open so come the winter we changed to another venue where we could be inside to keep warm and dry but still meet up! This was at the Brazen Head in Paddington. Over the winter months of 2006, the volunteers of LB started talking about a place for the summer again, so work begun on riding around London looking for a suitable location. The Borough Market was chosen in the end as it ticked all the boxes; central, easy to get to, cover from the elements, area with character, bike friendly, good food & drink! The first BMM night was had on the 4th April 2007 and was a resounding success with over 100 people attending.<br><br>[b]For more information, see here:[/b]<br>[url=http://londonbikers.com/events/wednesday-meet/]http://londonbikers.com/events/wednesday-meet/[/url]<br><br>[b]Photos published here:[/b]<br>[url=http://londonbikers.com/galleries/category/2a1d70a3-f646-4c63-a49e-b8f11abec1a2]http://londonbikers.com/galleries/category/2a1d70a3-f646-4c63-a49e-b8f11abec1a2[/url]<br><br>[img]http://londonbikers.com/galleries/img.aspx?g=3a72d09c-3836-4fed-ab1f-f5b071e6019d&i=5a2bdac7-a5ad-4974-ae89-faef3d88bb82[/img]Sun, 26 Aug 2007 15:59:07 GMTJay
