Herne Hill Velodrome - The Track League Podcast

HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 13

A slightly different podcast for you this time - a touch of culture alongside the normal updates on leagues and ratings. What are the links between choral music and cycling? Favourite English cathedral? (Ely, Coventry and Liverpool (x2) make the podium). Who described HHV as 'church without the God?'. And could we really have a singing lapboard? Regulars Matthew 'Swanny' Swann and Phil Wright are joined by A-Cat and newly-turned vet Adam Nelson, and Jonathan Mayes - keen cyclist and CEO of the Cathedral Music Trust. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 12

Just a couple of weeks to go now before the biggest and most anticipated event in the bike racing calendar. Not Paris-Roubaix, the opening of the Herne Hill Velodrome Wednesday Track League. Regulars Swanny and Phil Wright are joined by Simon Tucker and Feodora Rayner - respectively the new chairs of the charitable HHV Trust and the Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome. And what was expected to be a gentle look-ahead to the coming season covers some deep subjects - including the role of the chairs, the logistics of resurfacing the track, bike thefts and security measures - and death. Worth 45 minutes of your time, especially if you can work out how many times the dreaded phrase 'wonderful community' is used. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 11

We’re half-way through the season already and podcast regulars Matthew Swann and Phil Wright are joined by two special guests for this women’s racing-themed edition. Linda Wiljaars is a long-time stalwart of Women’s League A’s and Wednesday night C’s, and Sorrel Allen is brand new to track racing - and bikes in general. Plus, a round-up of Vets and Youth racing and Phil’s adventures on the TdF. And don’t miss Linda’s casual name-drop of her childhood racing opponent, or Sorrel’s frankly weird coffee porridge tip.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 10

Back once again by popular demand (i.e one person expressed an interest on WhatsApp.) Hosts Matthew Swann and Phil Wright are at a windy HHV to talk through the first month of Wednesday night track league, and the early rounds of Vets and Womens leagues. More detailed coverage of Womens League coming in the next episode, along with a proper look at Speed League. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 9

It’s the most anticipated reunion since the Gallagher brothers, and much cheaper. The return of the Herne Hill Velodrome Track League Podcast. Regulars Swanny and Phil Wright are joined by HHV’s own Flying Doctor, top sprinter Izu Chukwulobelu. It’s all here - The South London Grand Prix, Speed League, Spin To Win, Sheona’s Sparkly Sequin race and much much more.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
