I might bring the track bike down to do a few laps But then I would have to drive down, I don’t ride my track bike on the roads - scared of no brakes in traffic!
yeah I am a wussy girl hehe
You will be paired up with another rider. There will be two 60 minute sessions, and one of you will count laps for (and yell encouragement at) the other.
The first session will be run at approximately 9:00am The second at approx 10:30. If you don’t make it there by 9am we may be able to slot you into the 10:30 run, but if there are not enough counters - you may have to count for yourself (this is VERY hard work, trust me).
Following the second run we will try and be organised enough to get lunch and or coffee somewhere nearby (read CEREs).
Hecklers are most welcome as long as they make lots of noise
There are no hard rules… just ride whatever you want. There will be other people on the track, so passing and bunching will occur. As long as you are courteous and considerate of the others, It’s up to you how you deal with it - this is a personal and (hopefully) fun excercise, so approach it however best suits you.
As with any Saturday ride: Everyone is welcome! Join us for the ride or just come along to watch.
The only other thing to mention: If it is wet, just assume normal Saturday ride.
If you’re wondering what sort of distance to aim for…
The ‘FOA Best Hour Performance’* is currently held by Tristan Bennett: 120 laps (~38.6km)
Last time we had 16 riders and the average distance was about 100 laps.
If you are planning to come along, please let me know here or via pm or by an email to nathan at undershorts dot org so I know how many cards to print out.
Strictly limited to laps of the Brunswick outdoor velodrome.
