February: DHBC Omnium club Championships.; likely date 11/02/2012. get ready to ride the new olympic format omnium in one afternoon!!!

March: Legs of Steel - omnium. Riders are only permitted to ride a steel framed bike. No carbon fibre or aluminium will be permited. Racing will be in the format of a traditional omium setup, flying 200m TT, scratch race (madison), individual pusuit, points race (madison) & a kilo but with an emphasis on team events, ie madisons.

April ; Lionel Cox memorial sprint derby - omnium. Racing will commence with a flying 200m TT to rank riders from fastest to slowest. Riders will then be put up against other riders of a similar speed in a tournament styled mactch sprint (1 on 1) competition. Overall winner will be crowned sprinter of the year.

May: 50km individual/teams points race - omnium. the race will be over a gruelling 150 laps of tempe velodrome with 16 sprints. sprints will attract points for first four places, 5 for 1st, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd and 1 for 4th. However unlike an olympic style points race riders who lap the field will instantly lead the race on distance as laps will be counted as a lead rather than the usual 20 points being given, just as in a madison. The other difference being that unlike a normal points race team entry will be accepted so pairs or groups of 3 may enter and ride as though in a madison, giving everybody the chance to have a go.

June: International Keirin - omnium. Just as a year ago each rider will be required to select a country to ride for. This may be a country which they have a traditional tie to or it may simply be the country they wish they were born in. They will then need to find riding clothes to represent this country and cook a native dish to bring along and share. The racing will be normal track racing finishing with an international keirin to see which nation will reign for 2011.

July: 81 inch omnium. All rider must ride on a gear no more than 81 inches or in teeth 48 tooth front chain ring and 16 tooth rear cog. This event is there to test who has the best leg speed for 2011. Style of racing TBA.

August: One hour omnium challenge. Riders should aim to complete a full omnium (flying 200ms, 10km scratch race, 3km pursuit, 20km points race and 1km TT) in less than 60 minutes. To do this events will have to run back to back with more than one rider on the track at a time during the time trials and riders must average over 34kms an hour. No champion will be crowned but all riders who can complete the overal goal will be a champion!!!!

September: DHBC Club Madison Championships. After the success of the points race it is time for the second club championship of the year after the kilo. This round will be a 50km event, made up of 150 laps of Tempe Velodrome. There will be 15 sprints, with points allocated as 5 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd and 1 point for fourth. As per Olympic rules laps of the field will count towards distance, not points so when a team laps the field they will go one lap up and instantly lead the race regardless of point score.

October:Halloween; night under lights omnium. for this event racing will take place with no overhead lights and instead riders must bring their own to install on their bicycles. It is expected that this event will be fantastic for spectators as riders will also be given different coloured glow stick for identification!

November: Novemberfest motorised TT championships. Three events all motorised; flying lap, 4 km pursuit for men & a 3 km pursuit for women and a keirin. hold onto your hat this one will be fun!!!

December: TBA :

Boxing day omnium : Traditionally this event marks the begginings of the first ever DHBC omnium & is the DHBC Kilo championships.

Ah Jo, it's March! Plenty of time to buy a frame and build one up especially for it :)

Chapeau Simon, great work as always. Looking forward to being able to race many of these this year.

I am not certain that Simon will be in much of a position this year to be running all of the omniums, but we are hoping that others may wish to run them too!

Voice your enthusiasm if you're keen!

Maybe we can each take responsibility for an event or two, to spread the load?

That sounds like a great idea, it's not a whole lot of work. The main things that need organised are the choosing a date, the bbq, booking the velodrome which is done through Lindsay, confirming a comissaire which is most people that come along & the affiliation through CNSW which can be done through me or Camilla. I can help with all of the above.

How about people We have a list and you can copy and paste yourself to a month for 2012:

March: Legs of Steel -

April ; Lionel Cox memorial sprint derby -

May: 50km individual/teams points race -

June: International Keirin -

July: 81 inch omnium-

August: One hour omnium challenge-

September: DHBC Club Madison Championships-

October:Halloween; night under lights omnium-

November: Novemberfest motorised TT championships-

December: TBA -

If you run it on a Monday not too much. The track is already booked, you may as well run the event as training as that is what the track is booked for. There will be a commissionaire or should be for normal training.

You just have to start a thread so that people can elect their countries, the question is whether or not people should bring food or not as generally on a monday night people will have already eaten and it hasn't proven so successful in the past but as it is a public holiday that should work, you will get a sense from the thread.
