[Via CSV](http://vic.cycling.org.au/News/latestnews.htm):

> Cotter Pin is launching it’s coming season of events on Monday, 8th October 2007 by hosting Steve Jacobs and the TODAY Show production team at DISC.

> Ryan Bayley and Anna Meares will also be there to show Steve a thing or two about track racing.

> But we need you there to create some atmosphere, cheer Ryan and Anna on and general show Australia how much Melbourne loves it’s cycling!

> Come dressed in your club kit. Bring club flags or banners. Bring you bike, you never know, the producers might want as many people on the track as possible!

> Coffee and Croissants provided. There’ll be a chance to meet Ryan and Anna and get autographs. You might even win a 2XU Revolution kit just by coming along!

> We’re hoping for 100 so get to bed nice and early, set you alarm and be part of the fun!

I’m going to head on down in my TC “original” t-shirt. Hope some of you can come along.

Anna Meares!!

Probably, I’ve been advised to use golf gloves on the track too. They’re nice thin leather. As I’ve experienced from hitting the deck a couple of times on the boards, you don’t graze so much as burn. The hole in my knicks have melted plastic around the periphery from where the heat built up and eventually burn my skin undernear. Same thing goes for the hands, the leather won’t melt like synthetic gloves and thus protect you better.

ps I am uber jealous that you guys get to have a roll around with those guys.

It’s not everyday one has the opportunity to meet an Olympic Gold medalist (if that sort of thing floats your boat of course).  
My dad has always stated this little ditty “Don’t cut your nose off to spite your face”.

Well, how was it?

I set my DVB box to record from 6-9am so if anyone got their dial on camera I can supply the footage.
