what is it? and distance?

170m over 1840m. Dale and Brad are off about 80/90. Grant Fraser is off only 95m, so I guess I'll try and tack on to his wheel when he slides by. Or I could be mean and just put him on my shoulder for two laps :D Make hime work for his money.

[edit]The guy I'll be really keeping an eye on is off 90m, picked up Australian Masters Rider of the Year recently and is the current sprint world champion for MMAS3. I'm hoping he's a true sprinter and won't last the distance[/edit]

jeez, Grant Fraser off 95 !!

Speaking of the Madison, we could do some practice on it Tues nights. Shaw has a regular bunch down there training it seems.

Mondays & thursdays are track training nights, happy to extend to a Tuesday for Madison training!

I reckon a bit of madison practise would be real handy. Tuesdays aren't much good if you dislike errant javelins, wayward discus and random hammers. Thursdays are much better.

Grant's a real chance off 95. He and richard pettigrew caught me with one lap to go last night. I don't know where dale and brad were, but I managed to stick with grant for a neat 2nd.

Looks like Gosford is going to come through it untouched for the second time in two days :D

You suck. No offense. :)

Sorry Expat, but usually if it looks like rain in Gosford it rains. Lots.

Weird things afoot lately.

We enjoyed the hail yesterday morning. And then the attack of the ducks.

no kidding ! Good job for 2nd too !!

OK, so Monday night sounds good. Thursday's I'll break out the shotput, the talc and dust up my lycra bibs for a new Over 35's Adcock Park record shot. :D

Had an interview today, with a freakin' Glaswegian, needless to say we ended up at the pub after it... at 10am :D

I've never had an interview go that badly :p

Ducks? Magpies in camo perhaps?

Ducks. From the swamp where the turtle came from.

Seen the picture in the SMH of a few cyclist protesting on IR reforms at parliment house and the camera person got a shot of a cyclist lying on the road{ a picture worth a thousand words } ,looks like he forgot to unclip, realy took away the importance of why they were there. Thinking back it would'nt have been you because they were in Camberra.

You mean the new shop? ;)

Don't worry about the old fella Berny - he missed that one but he had a few days in the sun to console himself as well.

Happy with the tickets for the Melb cup - back straight, opposite the finish line, one row back from the fence. If I could have an actual pick of where to sit I wouldn't do much better. Mind you, there might only be 50 people there!

Tip for the ticketek website when booking tickets for Vodophone - you can have three cracks at selecting seating. It drops the selections in a 'shopping basket'. You remove the tickets you don't like. First two options the website gave sucked, third one was great.

yep, just heard about it, sounds great !

Yes it does sound like it will be a good move. They have some interesting ideas to make it a 'different' experience. I hope it doesn't effect my sponsorship :D
What do you think of the location?

The location is prime. It has the highest volume of traffic going past it anywhere on the coast. They just have to signpost it to make it irresistable to every man, woman, and wallet. The inside will need to get a facelift to make it visually appealling too. The current setup is so bleak it would make an undertaker cringe.
