I thought it was less if you brought your own bike.

My sister in law is in town and we'll be there at 7 for dinner, good times even if you don;t sing. I need to be well lubed before the mic sits in my hand.

Gladstone or Drake? The ******bag factor is a bit too high at the drake for me.

Also, tonight is the festival of lights in Kensington. Happy Solstice everyone! The days are gettin' longer again :)

It rocks.

For those who care when Dan, Brayden and I went last Feb I wore shants, long sleeve shirt and a fleece vest and full finger gloves. My only thought to those who want to bring their own bike is that the banks are really steep and if you have longer cranks there might be an issue with hitting the track on the slow pylon laps. One girl who was there hit here pedal a few times trying to carve aorund the pylons.

Have fun you b*stards.

Have fun, everyone! Take lots of video and "oh god, I can't believe I'm riding on a freaking wall!" photos.

The only other thing to keep in mind Matt....make sure you get ZERO wetness/moisture on the bike when putting it in/taking it out of the car. Moisture+bike+velodrome=BAD!

I love Guiness too but perhaps this would be more appropriate?

TRaffic Jammer 12-21-07 09:53 AM

The LTR1 tray is empty, please refill and print your job again. Yes, at the Gladstone *slaps forehead for saying Drake* I STILL get those confused.

Apparently all the brokerage fees were on the aerohead package, not the build kit - ~$35 GST + brokerage = $90 buttramming. Makes the sale price a lot poopier, but meh. It happens.

Hugely impressed with the speed that this stuff arrived. I'll be e-mailing Tony shortly.

Re: .au velo crash I had to explain that it looked way worse than it was, those guys are pros, they know how to fall/deal and those bikes have no brakes for safety reasons on the track. That was a tough one to explain :p

Have fun at the track guys, sounds like a blast :D

I'm fortunate enough to have Mon-Wed off next week, but back to the grind on the day of the Turd. It's likely going to be a boozefest from what I hear, but being at work is still ftl.

Up and coming maybe, but I think it was "under 18" class.

Nice. I've been wanting to watch the whole 'beach scene' from Apocalypse Now for the past couple of weeks. Charlie don't surf! :D

Also, VelooMedia footage from 'cross provincials:

You can see Mike and I near the start. Mike's at the back of the Senior pack (first wave), I'm in the middle of the Master A pack. I'm also ~halfway through, doing the barrier hop/skip/jump.

Also -- does anyone know what a landlord's responsibilities are with respect to snow removal in our fair city?

Not quite YouTube but I thought it was funny anyway...
