Good Friday Meeting April 2nd 2010 Once again unfortunately the weather got the better of the Meeting. Despite an optimistic start with some good times in the preliminary time trials, the weather closed in just before the one o’clock official start. By two o’clock the rain was still falling heavily and a number of riders had already packed their bags and left for home, the sky was completely overcast and the home straight was becoming one long puddle. The weather forecast was that the rain had settled in for the day so the officials decided the only sensible course of action was to reluctantly abandon the meeting. In truth, with no grand stand or other real cover to shelter in, the Velodrome quickly became a miserable place to be and it was amazing to see how quickly everyone vacated the site, leaving the various stallholders, and caterers to pack their unsold stock and think of what might have been. Although the sun did return to dry the track in the late afternoon the decision to abandon was the right one because although the track dried out, the track centre remained waterlogged and the grass and mud around the track remained lethally slippery for spectators. Everyone involved in the organisation of the meeting is extremely disappointed, not only at seeing the fruits of their labour being in vain, but for all the riders and spectators who had travelled from far and wide to be at what had promised to be a great meeting. Franco Marvulli told the organiser, Graham Bristow, that he was pleased to have been invited and had been looking forward to riding at Herne Hill in the famous Good Friday Meeting and hoped that he would be able to return next year. The Southern Counties CU would like to thank all of the sponsors and advertisers for their support for the meeting.

Matt Crampton topped the 200m times for the Neovite Sprint with an impressive 10.904s, easily quicker than BC Academy member Pete Mitchell who also impressed with his 11.282s, faster than Ross Edgar (11.328s) and Chris Lyte (11.338s) with Steve Hill in fifth after recording a time of 11.576s. Full Results can be found in the History/Results section of the Drop-down Menu Herne Hill Velodrome Herne Hill Velodrome is one of the best cycling tracks in the UK & it is the last remaining venue from the 1948 Olympic Games that is still in active use. Hopefully it will have a very important role to play in the 2012 Games, not as a competition or training venue, but as a vital grass-roots facility to develop the riders that will take part in 2012.
