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?

I cant speak for John but I was riding 94. Normally this would be fine, but there was a strong cross wind blowing which made things much more difficult.
