Offhoff, cavernmech suggested that the non track 1 guys could go earlier than us and do the track 1 and we'll come in sligthly later to do track 2/3 with them.
Or they could do track 1 while we're flying around the track. Yup.

Yeah if the guys at the velodrome are cool with that I will definately ask what the options are when I e-mail/phone them. I'm just warning that it *might* not be possible. if it is I will post such and if anyone wants to organize another day for more people to do track 1 that'd be awesome. I'm simply trying to get all the training done so I can start racing.

I've been told by several sources that Saris sells roof racks... am I just blind or are they not on the website?

their ramen is pretty good too ($6.50) ....it's an izakaya (traditional japanese pub) but it could do with some izakaya pricing... read: could be cheaper!!

Bikes: A bunch
My friends mountain bike was stolen today.
It is a black and silver Gary Fisher Marlin, I'm pretty sure it's all stock, umm not sure of the actual size of the frame but it was pretty small.
He's gonna check out Igor's and Uncle Jakes or whatever it's called (anyone know the address?).
so hopefully it turns up at one of those places.
Keep an eye out for it everyone.

I cannot find roof racks on your website. Have you stopped selling them?
We choose to specialize in racks for the rear of the car. However, we do have an inventory of roof rack products available. If you are an existing roof rack customer and need replacement parts, we have them available. If you need to change parts to accomodate a new car, we do offer an upgrade program.

Jet Sanchez: Could you detail (in great detail) the process you used to strip the frame down to bare metal? I bought some gel stripper at Home Depot, eagerly awaiting bb tool so I can start stripping.

Andrew Meamura aka Maki or here on bikeforums Veteran Youth had the 4th fastest night lap out of everybody and the 9th fastest day lap. And Ted, who i think cavernmech only knows also got a top ten lap time.
I haven't heard much from the others on how the race went since most of them are catching up on sleep.
