G'day all.

Racing is open to all affiliated (licensed) riders with a track bike. All clubs welcome. Must have a track bike (no road bikes allowed). Gates open at 6.30pm. Racing starts at 7.30pm.

See you there.

man i cant wait! though we will miss most of feb, which is probably most of it :S

I'm hopng to make it down there on Thursday.

Is there a girls grade?

hey jo, just ride in c grade, it will be good for you, it will be the same as the winter series. Riding with all the lads will help you improve heaps.


Man i was ripped that it was called off last night?! i seriously may not get to ride this series im working next thursday, and we are gone most of feb etc.

Is there a girls grade?

I could wax






Dam shame that the conditions weren't right for racing last night, I did 3 laps on the beast and felt that the wind was ok for racing but it wasn't my call.

Away next week, so I look forward to racing the week after

I had to delete this message, it was so embarrassing.

Here is Lance expressing how unfunny my comment was:

We prefer your normal, hairy self?

No, wait, I get it now.
I suppose the joke's on me this time. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Didn't know you were into bears

Judith Arndt didn't like it either:

Hey - anyone going to this tonight? I am thinking of giving it a go and getting slaughtered, but would feel better if there were other DHBC people there.

I'm undecided at this point, I have a lot to do so its not looking good, but you never know.

man we raced, it was pretty good, i had heaps of fun! pretty quiet though.
You lot should all ride it, there was no b grade, so b and a were together.
If you turn up make sure you bring licence or receipt though.

Its a nice relaxed form of racing, if we get enough girls they will put on a girls section, theres one allready there, i think she is cool with being in c grade though. If we get 4 or 5 we can have a race though.

OK - Next Thursday I can't make it, but I will definately ride after that. Better start racing sooner or later It sounds like fun.

Mike?
What happened?

ok i think im back and ready for some racing i reckon! (sorry about last week, was sick)
But i hear its been quiet there.
If any one is thinking of maybe racing tonight at tempe, i totally say go for it, the race experience is invaluable, and any one that has a race licence, wanting to be a better racer along the way, the sort of build up to to bigger racing that you can learn here is some of the best experience youll get.

If its a choice between rollers and the racing, id say go for the racing (sorry mike) as the expereince and race fitness is probably more important right now than just being fitter.

I'm hoping to come down for some racing tonight, Tim.

i'll be there, might bring my mini down tonight

man tonight was good as! loved every minute of it!
Every one should ride the races that are this level while we can!
winter series is sort of a bit of a step up, and our omniums are different.
Here we have home track advantage, and are building our home track training advantage for our open when eve we have it.

far out man, that was a bit dissapointing, the team idea needs a bit of work :S sorry for the confusion in the first race, i probably should have done the sitting on your wheel instead, but yeah they are all roadies that would sit on us unless it was a massive break.
And in the money race, turns out they sat us heaps well, so we were lucky to get a top three out of it.

Man ripped that i miss heard my name in the miss'n'out, i reckon i could have done really well in it!

Nice work to jo, mike and rower lad!

Yeah - a bit disappointed it is all over, I was starting to really enjoy THursday nights....even the 30 lapper was fun.

I really enjoyed racing last night. Im sure i owe you a beer or two Tim for the help you gave me in the final race. Sadly I didnt have the speed to stay with the koga guy, but im happy with a second place anyway.

The best race of the night had to be the money race for B grade, with Bucko just rolling Christian on the line.

Yeah, but check out the legs on Koga guy.....You did well to come that close with your lean pins!!!

man we should have beaten him we were trying out some team stuff, they were all every man for him self. But yeah, they all sat us, the only thing me leading out did for sure was give you some sort of chance, it gave the rest the same chance.

But yeah, im all for trying all this stuff, especially when it doesnt matter
