Guest EPCC Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Masters would be good fun will be checking my shift today to get cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Speaking to Janette today, she said you can do both sprint and vet races, the vet races will be in between the sprint sets when they sort the draws for the next round. Priority will be given to the oldest first, so you'll be okay for a race Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Ok, so entered for the British Masters B category in everything but the Scratch. Also signed up for Ivor's sessions at SCHV, have enjoyed his coaching before in weekend at at Manchester. All good motivation for the next few weeks training (he says with glass of red in hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Why not the scratch race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I reckoned that it would give me a bit of a rest on the Sat afternoon as the Pursuit should be my best event on Sunday morn and if I'm crap in the points or expend a lot of energy stupidly it doesn't matter as it's afterwards.

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 30, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Alan, Paul, Lewis and I had an exciting night with a combination of sprints and endurance events for the older riders. The twenty lap scratch was handicapped with some riders getting three free laps so the pace was mental as the younger vets tried to lap the field and avoid a whitewash. I found the 10 lap hares and hounds race even fiercer as the 30 somethings tried (unsuccessfully) to hunt down the 40 somethings. This ended up an eight man TT at warp speed. my first attempt at sprints was interesting and I will go back for more. Seeding by flying 200m was very fair and ensured very close racing. Highly recommended. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 30, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'll second that Alan, the combination of sprints and endurance was very hard work. The endurance races were of the shorter, 20, 10 and 15 lap variety and effectively became a last man standing job. I found the 20 lap scratch harder than sprint intervals!
