    HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 11
    2025/07/15


    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.

    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.

    HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 8
    2024/05/05

    Five weeks into track league season and regulars Swanny and Phil are joined by a special guest - Holly Jones, the ‘Flying Neurological Anaesthetist’ (try saying that after a few Bianca Road beers). Holly’s currently sidelined by collarbone problems (don’t listen to this podcast while you’re eating, some of the details are a little disturbing) but has been keeping a close eye on the racing. The trio consider some of the important questions in life - can you really be accused of sandbagging if you don’t actually win? How great is it to see Flora Perkins bossing the Vuelta Feminina, and which young HHV regulars beat Katie Archibald in a trackstand competition? And Phil goes philosophical on the mindfulness of racing.

    HHV Track League Podcast - Episode 6 - The End of The Season
    2023/10/09
    First, an apology. Our live podcast in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the HHV Pavilion was a big success, with Phil and Swanny’s season round-up and interviews with Velociposse’s Katherine Fodor, Joseph “The Murminator” Merman, local hero Flora Perkins and Olympic rower turned top-flight trackie Charlotte Hodgkins-Byrne. But digital gremlins meant the last two guests were not recorded in a usable form. So, apologies to Flora and Charlotte - we’ll have them both on the podcast again as soon as we can. Until then, enjoy this shortened version where we finally reveal the worst-kept secret of the year - who’s behind the Instagram meme-fest HHV Sh*tposting.

    2023/09/17

    With the Vets and Women already wrapped up, there's just two Wednesdays to go in the HHV Track League. Matt and Phil get together trackside to review the winners so far, the titles up for grabs and the standout moments of the last month. Including the National Ominium Championships, where local riders once again took on the best in the country. And there's a lot of mutual commiseration over collarbones.



    The magic spreadsheet mentioned by Matt and Phil should be on this link:

    The South London Grand Prix saw the return to Herne Hill of local legend Flora Perkins. Flora has followed the now familiar path from youth racing in the colours of VCL, through Wednesday track league and national competitions to a place with the GB Academy and the pro team Fenix-Deceuninck Continental. The Grand Prix was the first chance in a while for local fans to see her in action, and she did not disappoint. Swanny caught up with her for this bonus episode.
