This will be my general SS road ripper, fixed track bike and gold sprinter.
As well a full geared 'cross bike, for all my need for speed needs. All bikes will have brakes, as my years messin' taught me that the ability to stop now will keep you alive....like yesterday

Is anyone interested in getting together to go out to Forest City again? I'd love to get back on that velodrome and if we have enough people we should try and do Track 2-4 in one session.
If there is any interest I'll start getting something set up...

The first two weekends in September are likely out for me, but otherwise I think I'm free basically any time (edit: on the weekends, that is).

So lets make this easier, if you want to come add your name to the list, also note if you need to do Track 1
I'd like to aim for Saturday Sept 16th if there are no problems, and I'm still in the country. If people have a serious problem with that date state so ASAP.
So far:
1: Offhoff
2: Somnambulant
3: Operator
4: Ill Mitch

I raced at the summer solstice one this year as well. I rode with a big corperate team, so I only did 2 laps. Wasn't too happy with my lap times-but it was fun. Gotta love the night laps-especially when your light craps out with 800m to go....weeee!

The other reason is that I am scared of my cross bike since my last crash. Sometimes I think I can hear it taunting me as I walk past it. I know that it secretly yearns to destroy me, and any offspring I may eventually have.
