[MEL] Track Day - Saturday June 16th « on: May 21, 2007, 01:26:30 PM »

Thanks to the very kind folks over at Coburg Cycling Club we have arranged to get authorised and exclusive use of the Coburg Velodrome on Saturday the 16th of June...

Fixed Org Au Informal Track Day

A chance to try out some unserious track riding on a serious velodrome, without having to commit to a race license. A chance also to use your mean track machine for the task it was originally designed - going really damn fast in circles.

In place of the Saturday ride like the hour, current plan is something like:

 - meet at fedsq and ride up sydney rd or meet at coburg
 - brief intro for those who haven't ridden on a steep velodrome before
 - group paceline to get comfortable riding with others on the banks
 - flying 200s
 - matched pursuits
 - 3-up sprints
 - scratch in matched groups

More details to be posted once everything is finalised. Since hire of the venue will be about $50, I'll be asking for a $5 donation on the day - any excess will go toward snags and or beer. Watch this space and the front page for more. Hope you can all come along for a fun morning's riding.

This is an outdoor venue so we will have to abort in the case of rain, we'll see what happens :)

We are locked in! Saturday 16th June. If you are planning to come along, please let me know here, on a Saturday ride, by PM or email nathan at undershorts dot org so we know how many to expect. And... If you cross any Coburg riders on the road in the next few weeks, please give them an extra-special nod, wave and thankyou!

No! It just encourages other people to pull out useless pieces of shit from their garage, weld them togeather and pronounce loudly "hey everybody, I'm a fucking artist". "Look at me I've done a shit in my hand and nailed it to a board, PAY ME".

But that's just me.

Craig, your thoughts on these then:



But we're not selling them - you have to earn them! ;)

Seeing as I'm non-confrontational and the quiet type, Nath they're GREAT! In a kind of 'sheltered work-shop way' or porfessional window licker.
