No it just means the 170 rider limit as been reached.
it sells out quickly every year, so you snooze you lose on this one.

Yes i agree with Jo on this one, if it wasnt for Lindsay I would not be riding track. I had a loan bike (big bird) for about a year. When i first started I would only ride to Waterfall if Lindsay was riding as i wanted someone to stay back when i was dropped. (my second ride to WF lindsay didnt ride...

ok i guess you could have 2 lists, on and off the bike, so obviously the wheelraces are my best achievements on the bike.
but for me, getting fit and losing 15k is MY biggest achievement this year.

Hmm ok, there needs to be a lap counting method Weiyun as ive never raced the club crit and known when the last lap is - or where i am in the race. if each grade can count each lap and know how many times theyve been passed - sounds great, but there will be confusion if nobody else knows.

who holds the invisable pink jersery?
i think its camilla.

whenever i race our club crit i never know where i am in the race, or how many laps to go. its gets a bit muddled towards the end.

and yes vic it was worth it :D

in need of a set of wheels for a fixed bike

Hi,

I need a reasonable priced set of wheels for my fixed wheel bike Geoff S is putting together for me. They just need to be durable nothing fancy.
If anyone has any floating around that they want to off load then please PM me.
