Hi All,

Hope everyone had a fun night trick or treating last night.

Now to the report

The gail force winds had passed and we had a great night for the track but it still can get cold.

Great to see Michelle Brown back to have a look and help out, thanks and hope to see you again soon.

The numbers were down this week, only 28 riders!

After individual warm up’s both group C & B got into their Paceline Drill, 30 for C and 15 for B. once the track was cleared group A was lead around by Lizanne in a Motorpace starting slow and increasing speed and everyone practiced holding a straight line and following the wheel in front.

Next 2 lap time trails, starting with group B then C and finally A. Everyone paired up so it was a 660m individual pursuit. As we ran two riders at a time.

Great times by everyone. Congratulations to Taku, Zanzi and Linus for breaking 1 minute, Oliver and Rohan for shaving almost 6 secs of the last PB and Ruby and Caitlin almost 5 secs faster. The average being 1.5 seconds faster than previous. See all the effort do pay off.

I’m not as good at graphs as James so I won’t try.

And that was the full session, we finish with 1 minute to spare.

Next week’s session

Remember next week the gates open at 4:30 for Group A to be on the fence ready to roll at 5. We’ll start from the basics and work up, trying to get in lots and lots of laps

6pm rollout for Group B & C and we will be working on race craft and safe riding as we have 13 riders who have entered the SCODY Cup on the next Saturday.


DHBC hosted Junior track carnival - November 30
We will be hosting a junior track carnival at the end of November, this will be a Cycling NSW event and open to all clubs. We are looking for volunteers in all areas to help out with things such as the BBQ, canteen, registration, handlers, and various other jobs. It will be a enjoyable afternoon event... and many hands make light work (etc)! Please contact James for more details.
