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”.
Dibs on the poster, cause I’m feeling delicate today and need all the positivism I can get.
Nath, do those trophies come in XXL? Cause I think I’d like to run fat tyres on the pug for off-road use.
To coincide with the fixed.ord.au informal track day (see thread http://fixed.org.au/forums/index.php/topic,2360.0.html), we are also having a swap event. The swap event will run throughout the track proceedings. Check the link for meet times and location. There’s a $5 donation if you want to be part of the track racing, otherwise the swap part of the day is free.
Bring your unwanted bikie bits for trade or sale. Not restricted to fixie bits either. Fixer newbies are also most welcome to come on down to seek advice on bike setups and riding techniques.
yep, but on the other hand (pardon the pun) there’s nothing like a 6-pack of beer and DVD of dwarf porn.
