Welcome to Dunc Gray for FNWTR August 24th 2007.
Crafty the man with the microphone both runs & entertains the event...
I smile with Brownie on my wheel before the opening scratch race...
I'm not sure what speeds we were doing but it was fast! over 60kms/hr..
I made sure I did some work on the front in the mystery race. I put in an attack to hope that that would be the lap of the bell but no luck...
Matty Hines; '747,' was the favourite for the wheel race in the big man's event but this time no cigar...
This is the one lap starts race but sadly I haven't been doing much training on my starts of late...
& here's the finish, I didn't do too great...
Funniest moment of the night, Stewie was telling me about how a rider in the state titles last year who I won't name was so content on seeing his time in the flying 200 that he swung up & went straight over the barriers into the crowd!!!...
& not even at the side of the velodrome at the top, right above the TissoT sign!!!
Finally this is the time blaster which was the end of me. I got dropped & Craftie announced over the microphone I had cracked which I thought was abit rude so I fought my way back on only to be blasted off the back....
Guys I've got to add, Just looking at these photos gets my heart racing. Friday night winter racing really is one of the most fun events in cycling in NSWs. It's not really even all that competitive, just a lot of fun. I won't tell people to come but I will say your all missing out!!! Both on a lot of good fitness, a high standard of racing & a smile that you won't be able to wipe off your face for a week...
