In celebration of Novemberfest..
This year DHBC will be running the motorized Tim Trial Championships!
So prepare your muscles, because you are going to need them.
3 events....
Flying Lap; 4 laps warm up then the motor bike swings off and the the final lap will be timed.
Motor paced 4 kms pursuit for Elite men; 3 km pursuit Elite women..
& finally names will be drawn out of a hat for the keirin.
So get ready to have some fun!!!!

Oktoberfest only runs until the first weekend in October. This year it runs until October 3rd.Oktoberfest goes the whole month.... Next week's the long weekend!
Since the topic is titled Octoberfest, you could say it is more about the October bit than a misspelling of the beer festival.
Keep us posted on the date; I'm also away on the long weekend.
PS - I love the photo of the steel bridgestone bikes with DA hubs on the wheels

I was going to hold this event this weekend but there was too many people away. I'm not sure now when it will run. I was going to have the halloween 'night under lights' omnium/party later in the month too but as this event didn't run when I thought it would, I'll have to decide which one to hold.Keep us posted on the date; I'm also away on the long weekend.

with all the talk about the halloween omnium, has this one been confirmed? if it is i'm in!
as a btw. I've been talking to Michelle Brown about getting soem of the Jr bikes back into action(and maybe a clean out of the back room) would a few hours before the omnium be a good idea?

Yeah I'll work on this one next but I might move the start time to 5:30 pm to avoid the heat and it is better for me.

Racing will start at 5:30pm. We will have a bbq. Not sure about the motor bike yet but we have some fun racing anyhow.
Cheers Simon.

Just as a guide, here's a video of Victoria Pendleton she hits about 75km/hr behind the motorbike in her flying lap!

Just so you don't say that is impossible here is her secrets;

I've hit a bit over 70km/h before behind the bike, believe me it doesnt work
Yeah she doesn't even seem like she is breathing that hard. Really bummed I missed this one again, Lizanne told me about it today - I haven't been keeping up with the forums of late. I am on house painting support duty today. Look forward to hearing the reports.I can honestly say that should I ever hit 75km/h on my track bike, I will not look that good.
It was a great event, thanks to those who organised, motorpaced, cooked, timed and competed.
