Who wants to challenge our tempe half hour record?

[timyone]

suspense is building as we aproach our next omnium, who will be challenging Alex Chugg's time, will it be the Llewellyn brothers head to head, will it be Ian the Ice man, Nathan the nightingale, or Mr Muscles him self (Patrick).

The first attempt at an actual hour record is also looming as well as many other crazy events at our next omnium.

What does the current record stand at??

[shrubb face]

41.8 km/h i think was what i did last time. Note that this was in the wind, with no warm up at all. I think i could do 45 pretty easy next time.

[timyone]

uhu.. sorry had your chance, neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeext!!
jimmy are you considering it?

[shrubb face]

Well if your taking that attitude, lets see if you can beat it Tim!

[timyone]

lol i was kidding, if i did it id be doing it to race simon
i only care about winning sprints at the end of races after sitting on peoples wheels right now
you can have another go some time id say, but right now we need to get every ones names on the list as having tried it!

[AlexD]

pending another 3 months of training, some new shoes, and maybe some extra lycra - I'll give it a shot.

I'm sure you could do 45, but for now 41.8 is sitting there waiting to be plucked

lol whys i reckon sprint series is your vibe with me!! (lol not to say that ill try both any way, and its in the spirit of our club to try it any way

[T-Bone]

I reckon i can give it a shot at some point, but probably not until January at the earliest (have to prepare for Bright after Grafton). I'll also need a bigger gear on my track bike, just have to work out which one.....

[wallman]

I'll give it a shot in Feb/Mar next year.

[Julio]

I'd give it a shot after Busso, my endurance should be okay by then :p

[mikesbytes]

It ain't over till this MASTER kicks elite/u23 a**

Though it will cost me money as I'll to not do my AM RPM class

[shrubb face]

Your building this up quite a bit mike, your going to look silly if you fail.

I'll think of some sort of excuse....sore finger

Hang on I'm in a no loose situation, if I don't kick B*tt then I'm old anyway.

How much is a pair of disk wheels....

[timyone]

the half hour we have been doing on standard equipment i think, no aerobars etc

[mikesbytes]

Thought Id start a thread where we can catalogue the various attempts at the tempe half an hour record.

So far the rules are as follows:
-UCI legal track bike
-Standard drop bars must be used (ie no aero bars)
-Standard mass start helmet (ie no aero helmets)
-The rider is given 30 minutes to ride as many laps as possible from a standing start
-Up to 2 riders may attempt the record at each time, adequate room must be left if one ride overtakes another to prevent drafting

Attemps
31/07/10
John N - 18.898 km - 56.8 laps - 37.8 km/h average speed
Alex C - 20.614km - 61.9 laps - 41.2 km/h average speed

Are you up for the challange?

[jbcow]

So when is the next omnium? I doubt my half hour average speed would match my age, ie 35...
