FOA Spring Track Omnium

Will I be the only guy with rizors?

you hold on to that woman.

Don’t worry you won’t be alone in the the “not exactly a stereotypical track bike” category.
My choices are limited to ancient Trek roadie/touring frame fixie conversion commuter pig with fenders and dyno or SSCX/FGCX pompino with nobbies (brakes will be disconnected/removed as far as practicable if racing)

@xBBx no intention of letting go :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll be riding my street beater dylan.

Rizorz shouldn’t be a problem. I will be happy to see Gene enforce a no brakes rule though.

Erle & I will vote for the deliciousness of MrsFROGs GFVegan cupcakes.

Please tell me this has less than 70 gear inches…

What gi to run? Idk track stuff. 48-15?

Interesting. I was just going to rock up with my street ratio as i also know no track stuff eg. what’s good for what events?

Really looking forward to the day. Sitting here on the side of the road waiting for the tour to come through Daylesford s we speak. I’m dipping in, I get both events covered!

haha just run whatever gearing no big deal, events will work out so that bigger geared riders suffer harsher handicaps

It has 74ish which I was thinking of running. Spinning is winning. Might take another cog down if someone rocks up with a big dog. Anyone rocking big GI’s is probably going to be in pain when Bryce lays down his trademark repeated attacks anyway.

That’s a pretty big gear, Dylan. It’s a slow outdoor track. What other combinations do you have?

Just realised i have work that day. Ballz.

I’m not sure how placings/points are supposed to work out for this but my understanding is that there will be 1st 2nd and 3rd overall (i’m assuming there will be mens and womens categories) therefore Mrs FROG will make 2 sets of 1st 2nd and 3rd cupcakes plus “coloured” cupcakes like in the TDF etc.
yellow cupcake = GCF leader
green cupcake = best sprinter
pink cupcake = best girl/woman whatever the opposite sex is calling themselves these days
polka dot = king of the mountains (not sure how this works, maybe whoever spends most time at the top of the banking)
white (sprinkles/other distinguishing feature in case all other cakes end up with white icing) = supposed to be best young rider probably just give it to the youngest entrant.
red (lantern rouge) = DFL
rainbow = world champion (of something other than riding to be arbitrarily decided by me on the day)

plus 1 batch (apparently 24 cupcakes) of gluten free chocolate for general consumption and 1 batch apple berry GFvegan some of which may become the “special” cupcakes

what do you guys think?

I can probably whip up some vegan cupcakes, but I always have a terrible time transporting them, and they arrive looking more like slice than individual cupcakes.

Err, I’ve got a 16 tooth sprocket kicking around too.
Man, I’m building this thing from spare shit, and if it’s a slow track I’ll be sweet to go fast on with my ano b43 and shit.

as to points and wh o will win what just bring them all along im sure i will be ableto figure out a way to give all the cupcakes away as prizes

Hey Gene, did you want me to bring down some ice and an esky for people to chill thier beverages?

no. but i probably won’t be riding much. (there’s only so much DFL i can take in one day…)

Do we have enough for a TDR v HK pursuit? Winner gets* Gene.

*or doesn’t get if that is their wish.

i’m without trackbike for the next wee while. i could flip the hub on my SS, i guess but that would potentially getting grease on my hands.

will i get growled at if i do this on a roadie?
