I Notice this event closes today, for the 30th of Jan event date.....Team pursuit. Do we have any DHBC people entering?

We're putting in a men's team pursuit team; ALex, Tim, Matt & a 4th rider to replace me. I was thinking about a women's elite team which only needs 3 but both Jess & Vic are touring today who have the elite licences. Team events are normally a good chnce to win medals, though the elite men's hasn't happened for quite some time.

Don't know if there is a carnival too & what events are being run?

Camilla, myself and Michelle P were going to put a womans masters team in - jut for experience, but Camilla is away and so is Michelle. I wonder if they will accept late entries? Looks like SImon you will be on coaching duty then.

Jo, the Pursuit on the 30th is only for Elite licences.
There is a carnival as well, with the standard scratch/wheelraces etc events which is for everyone.

Ok - that makes sense. I've entered then.

Im in for the carnival.

I'm in for the carnival already. What's involved with the pursuit? I suppose I could look it up but I just got back from touring and I'm bloody tired and on my way to being drunk.

CAMILLA - WHERE ARE YOU?? I think there is still a chance for late entries.

Camilla · Postby **Camilla** » 20 Jan 2010, 15:35

Sorry, missed it. And I'm not keen on the $20 late fee. Not today. I just found out I'm either going to have to throw money at Pedro to get him road-worthy for Tassie, or buy a whole new bike.

Just buy a new Pedro...that is what a credit card is for isn't it? Shame your not racing.

Trying to follow up Jess as I can't see her entered either.

According to the web site, it starts at 4pm

http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/cy_nsw/ra ... /10020.htm

I'm wondering if that's for everyone or just the elite riders?

Michael Chidgey · Postby **Michael Chidgey** » 28 Jan 2010, 08:34

how i read it is that the heats for the pursuit start at 4pm then the track carnival starts after that.

"Track Opens for warm up at 3:00pm
4:00pm Qualifying rounds of the NSW Club Team Pursuit Championships
Followed by warm up scratch race events
Wheelrace heats

MarkL · Postby **MarkL** » 29 Jan 2010, 18:58

wallman · Postby **wallman** » 30 Jan 2010, 12:40

Lidcombe Auburn's team looks like Isaksen, Carver, Lang. Anyone ever heard of those guys?

Trouty · Postby **Trouty** » 01 Feb 2010, 19:22

OK - I noticed some one took a picture of the Mens Team Pursuit team, with their bronze medals. Does anyone have this? I think it would be a great Picture for the front of our website. Congrats to "Annoying" John, Alex Chub, Matt Walman, Tim Llewellyn. The decider for the bronze was a beautiful race to watch.

Congratulations to the rest who didn't make a place - especially to Mike Clements who flashed his boney Glutes to us all after the crash, and Christian for not crashing after some one hit is rear wheel.

Anyone know a good seamstress? I'm thinking the panel can be replaced. Check out the 26cm splinter that had a piece of my lycra attached to it, I'll have to frame it

I've got a copy. I'll get Kev to put them on Flickr or something and I'll stick them on the forum.

NOOG · Postby **NOOG** » 01 Feb 2010, 22:07

Ok, here's the best of the lot. I hope one of them is what you were looking for Jo.

Trouty · Postby **Trouty** » 02 Feb 2010, 05:58

Yep - they're great. I think the shot of all 4 of you and Simon, wearing the medals is perfect. I will get Stu to put it on the home page.

Simon Llewellyn · Postby **Simon Llewellyn** » 02 Feb 2010, 09:48

I thought the one thing about the team pursuit was that our club looked really well drilled as a team, compared to the other clubs and that the skinsuites made them look very professional. it was a fun weeken out, hopefully next year we can get together a women's team also!!

timyone · Postby **timyone** » 02 Feb 2010, 11:47

how good are those pics!! yeah i reckon we did heaps well!! i would have been happy with 4:50, i was totally surprised by 4:43?!

orphic · Postby **orphic** » 02 Feb 2010, 12:01

Agreed that you all looked very professional, well done.

Womens team for next year should be our plan. If we can at least get one together and have a go it would be good experience.

timyone · Postby **timyone** » 03 Feb 2010, 10:30

hey will those pics be on facebook? can i put them on?

wallman · Postby **wallman** » 03 Feb 2010, 10:50

Good pics and good times. Looking forward to next year - I reckon we can put a decent dent into 4:43.

It's swings and roundabouts though, as some of you saw I had a decent prang at the bottom of the turnaround at Waterfall on Sunday. I'd just remarked to John that I had noticed a slow leak in my front and then 100m later it slipped out from under me...lesson learnt. Thanks to John and Michael Ch for helping me out. I'm stitched up now and covered in compression bandages. Hope to be on the bike for Sat but I'd say next week is more realistic at this stage.

Glad to hear your alright. That was defiantly the worst cut/gash on anyone's arm i have ever seen, did they have to stitch it closed?

The hospital gave it some stitches and crossed their fingers. The skin and flesh I had left didn't really match the wound so it's a matter of hoping the stitches do the job. You're not alone in your assessment of the hole in my arm though, the station master at Tempe came out when I was on the phone organising a lift home and slightly freaked out and tried to get me to go to Kogarah Hospital right then and there. She very kindly gave me some sterile water, wipes, dressings and concerned thoughts to take with me as I rode off home in the opposite direction. The shower I had when I got home was significantly more painful than the crash itself. I got my finger right into that hole in my elbow looking for gravel and the effort left me nauseous for a day. I can feel my stomach turning now actually...

Photos??

I'll post some of my wound photos as well.

wallman · Postby **wallman** » 04 Feb 2010, 07:34

I don't have photos as it's still buried under dressings and compression bandages. It looked a bit like a burst sausage though. That should be evocative enough.

WOmans DHBC Master Sprint Team coming up in March. Finally convinced Killer Camilla she is a sprinter, and I didn't even have to bribe her with wine.
