Track Favourites...

Great fun at last BCC track for the year. Been loving racing there over the last few months. Great people and vibe. Kudos to BCC...

TDR Track complement: C-grade this week.

D'alfonso rode well for a 2nd in Scratch and won the motorpace by half a lap! B-grade bound... Duggan dipped waaaay into the red to win the handicap (off 100) and scored a sweet prize for first...

Good fun.

With age comes experience...

... and with experience comes techniques to box the new guy out and make him ride 100 extra meters per lap.


















Wily old crackers... had a ball...

Of lost dignity...

and skin...

This is a photo of TDR at BCC track training on Sunday. Note D'alfonso on the right making a miraculous recovery and staying upright whilst Duggan eats it in his new knicks in shock of D'alfonso's save... Life just isn't fair...





















I maintain you owe me a pair of knicks Gandalfonso...

Career choices...

This makes me want to quit my job, get on the DOLE, and ride full time...

If I didn't do what I did... they would've gone right by me...

Love Josiah Ng's justification for hooking Brownie in this old Keirin clip... and his reaction to Brownie giving him a spray after the race... legend...

Inspiration for Track tonight!

Wired Wednesdays...

... follows Track Tuesday at 0000 hours when I can't sleep because my mind is still racing, so to speak...
















Kudos to Alfonso (sic) for winning everything and making it look easy in C-grade last night... I can't get the Icarus fable out of my head...

Cross training...






















Triathletes are wankers but it does provide an opportunity for some cross-training.

New signings...




















Luke Hushovd. The lesser known, but equally talented cousin of our current world road race champion. CX his discipline of choice but recently returned from very successful season of kermesse racing in SE Asia.

Movement at the station...

So after convincing Andy to shave his legs, it appears we have the semblance of a team. 


The idea - to start racing together with an ultimate goal of riding the Northern Combine 3 Day Tour as an informal amateur team in 2011. This space will document our "progress" through training and racing in preparation for the 3DT. It has started with three, but with luck will expand. 


Manifesto: Just for fun...
