2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted September 4, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Enjoyable night although i have a fair bit of work to do to be able to make a breakaway stick or be competitive in a sprint. Also the first race in particular i was feeling a bit rusty in terms of bike handling and ended up doing a couple of daft things like drifting off my line and so on. Things improved a bit as the night went on and managed to get a 3rd in the devil by the end, helped by half the field already on their way home by that point! Hope those involved in the crash are alright. I didnt see what happened but never a pleasant sight coming round the next lap and seeing people and bikes on the deck.

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted September 5, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 well done all you folks who were tracking last night!! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 A rather good night at the track in the B group, a 1-2-3 in the 30 lap scratch for Paul, Richard and myself, a 1-2 for Rich and I in the 25 lap scratch, and also a 1-3 in the points after blowing the field apart. 'A' Group for me next week, I think Richard should come and play too Darryl Gunson and duncan thomson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted September 5, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Great turn out and results from many wheelers and jets last night, good to see it back. Fantastic clean sweep from big Al in the B group with Richard just off his wheel. Some magnificent suicide attacks from Alan in the C and real progress from Billy who just missed out in at least one race. Colin was very comfortable as a first time participant especially given the low gearing on his bike and good to see Duncan in the fray. Janullrichdietplan did his dark horse with some real power rides. Couldn't keep track (pun) of all results Thought I would write this next bit down so I might actually do it - plan to not join youse for a month as I plan to have a break from racing - after a wee road race on Sunday My name is Paul and I am a raceaholic...

Guest EPCC Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Actually Paul You are having a break don't believe it it will never happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J. Udas Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Paul's break is 400 miles with 3 Turbo sessions a week and a power strentgh training programme before Oct when he starts his winter programme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted September 5, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Paul, Richard and, above all, Al dominated the B group in a great display of racing. Al now has a favoured tactic in the scratch races of launching from top of track into turbo pursuit mode with 6-8 laps to go. No-one could catch him and only his team mates were close. It was exciting to watch. I think all three should be racing A next week. Alan Gummers and Darryl Gunson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted September 6, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 hmm, as paul said, the track is not the place to find your fitness. Turns out he's right. Having said that the third race, scratch I think, I was starting to feel good (not awful) and sitting on a wheel when there was an odd noise somwhere. At this point, I should have gone up track to avoid what was obviously a crash about to occur. Oddly, it didn't occur to me until the next day, track novice A wee bit of help. So, once the three in front of me, including colin were scattered to the winds, I saw a gap, great, but as you already guessed, gravity caused the rider to slide down, fill the gap and I went over him. The velodrome roof looked great between my knees as I performed a beautiful parabola and landed on my head. I know this because the remains of the cote d'azure were left on the top of my helmet. The inner helmet is cracked all the way through to the shell. Bottom line: glad I was wearing a helmet. Enjoyed the night though. The Joansin' performed well in all races.
