Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

which of the days of the christmas carnivals are you guys planning on doing?

i was planning on doing 28th at dunc gray and 29th at tempe, but im a pansy and dont know if i can handle two days in a row. that said racing in the days after new years could be risky due to new years shenanigans....

we are doing all of them, and find that some people get stronger not weaker, and for you it will be about all the race experience, and it will be invaluable if you can do all 5!

haha youre a hard man!

Entries close on the 19th.

I'm a bit undecided as to what to do as I'm a bit overloaded during that period, but possible to do all 5 if I can get lifts

Same as 2009, it will be an omium style event over four rounds
• Rnd 1 Scratch race

The above format had everyone who attended last year singing the praises of the series.

I will definitely be there for the Tempe one and taking up the $15 offer. Will probably do at least one other event, but I am not clear what my holiday committments are just yet...

Fantastic to see track cycling getting sponsored by a beer brand ( and great beer it is too after having sampled some at Tempe during the club Omnium) ... welcome to the big leagues !

Sydney Christmas Carnivals - Day 1 - DGV - C grade
Tuesday 28th December 2010

Still got my cold and I did a spin class in the morning, but while the legs weren't perfect they were better than my previous track efforts. C grade was too big so was split in 2 by race number, odd and even.

Warm up Scratch Race - 12 laps - 4th
The pace didn't feel that hot, I rolled early on and ended up on the back with the subsequent rolling riders electing to sit on the side. with 3 laps to go I squeezed up the middle and got close to the front. Was a little slow to respond to the kick but ended up tacking onto the back of 3rd. Had a thought about going around 3rd towards the end but it was only the warm up race, then 5th went to go around me up the bank so I went low under 3rd to protect 4th.

Wheel Race - 6 laps - 7th
I was on 70mtrs which seemed to be about right, but there was a rider of the same ability as me on 135mtrs (I'd hate to be the handicapper, got to be the worse job). Got a good push and tacked onto the 2 riders in front of me, they seemed to be making reasonable pace so I stayed behind and then a young guy went by so I jumped to his wheel. The end result was that I was being pulled towards victory and I was still fresh but the young guy wasn't strong enough and we didn't catch the leading bunch.

One lap screamer - 3rd (out of 4)
Never a good race for me. Last time I did a one lap screamer I went out on 81" which is my fixie gearing, but another rider collided with me at the start and by the time that was sorted the other riders were gone. This time I was on 96" and Ironically I got a good start, but there was no kick in my legs and 2 got away from me and I narrowly held out the last rider. Most of my results in one lappers has been last with the occasional 3rd and 2nd once at Hurstville

Points Race - 15th laps, points (5,3,2,1) at 5, 10 & 15 laps - 3 points, placing unknown
Pace went out hot and I was near the rear, however I managed to barge my way thru the middle onto the front on the outside but my kick wasn't there and I got 1 point for 4th. Second set of points was an exact repeat with another 4th and then another repeat for a 3rd 4th. 3 points was not enough to get a top 4 placing as there were different riders in front of me on different points set.

Graded Scratch D vs C - 6 laps - 3rd C grader (I think)
D had a half lap handicap on us. We made good progress in the first lap and then D found their legs, the result was that we weren't pulling particularly much each lap. With 2 to go C grade blew apart and the remaining 3 of us went after then, the other 2 dropped me and they got on the back of D with 125mtrs to go but it wasn't good enough to overtake and D took all the placings.

In a nutshell my speed was OK but my kick was missing.

Tonight I have a spin class 5.45pm - 6.30pm and then I'm going to ride straight to Tempe Velodrome and do the second half of the racing

it was a case of softness or laziness alex

oops, i changed front sprocket, and thought id made it too tight, so tried oiling my chain because it was almost completely seizing up and not turning, and it turned out that it just needed oiled :S so umm yeah, maybe i wasnt just amazingly out of form :S
