[chillbro]

Look forward to it!

This will be my first club champs. Does the format change in any way, or is it just like a normal club round with better prizes! :p

Jordan

[alchemist]

Format is the same although there may be one or two suprises.

[Sandtastic]

Like triple points for winning, so instead of being last in 3 different grades I get a chance?

Less points for sandbaggers also.

[thecat]

Last place in A grade get a bonus 5000 points?

Sounds like just my thing:D

No chance. :p


Hahaha kidding. If I remember correctly, you're only young, yes? Send us a PM, we'll discuss further, without ruining lovely Mr Parbery's little thread.

[Sandtastic]

I've heard through word of mouth (I.E. mum) that there will also be the Sydney Singlespeed Championships also held during this race event, is this true?

Also how will it work? Run a separate race after?

[Sandtastic]

*ahem*


No details?

[ukalipt]

yeah i will be there. i am really looking forward
to my first race on my new[ish] bike.

C-Grade for me as well. i was going to go D-Grade
but i think three laps will be better. i have only raced
twice before at yellowmundee.

[scotta]

*ahem*


No details?

club champs will be run to the same format as the wsmtb /mwmtb xc series . this means single speed will start with b- grade and do 4 laps .

[Sandtastic]

32 -16 or 17 will be fine . the track wont be too hilly ,probably 6-7 km longI'm thinking of changing down to a 15t at the back, would this make a massive difference do you think?

32:16 at the moment.

there isn't too many places at yellomundee that you will run out of your current gearing .just before the farm house mainly the rest of it you should be able to pedal the whole way around .

[MrCove]

sorted, will be runing a 9 speed, slalom sort of set up, B grade
or
v small chance that i'll change it to SS later today

Alchemist, as you now, i'm a big fan of the usual SS prize but unfortunately i've got to drive back to Goulburn later in the afternoon ;-(

for anyone with kids upto about 10 yrs old,

kids race will be on the mighty T&A kids track (which is proving so popular some of it has been integrated into the final bit of the proper track)
short loop which takes about a minute/2 minutes max
run in a mini enduro style, about 15 mins, maybe more if the little buggers look like they want to, maybe less if it's too hot

16" wheel, 20" wheel (BMX), 24" wheel and 26" wheel bikes ok
must have 2 working brakes, coaster (back pedal) brake ok
helmets complusary BRING WATER
KIDS RACING IS FREE, SUPPORTED BY WSMTB, MWMTB AND ALL OF OUR SPONSORS (big props to JET BLACK for this round, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP!!!!!)

and dads, please please please put some air in the tyres!!!

[Sandtastic]

there isn't too many places at yellomundee that you will run out of your current gearing .just before the farm house mainly the rest of it you should be able to pedal the whole way around . I went up to the bike shop to rebuild my hub and spend lots of money.

Came back with all my money, a fixed hub, a 15t on the back and perfect tension. :D:D:D

32:15 now, it sure feels faster, might be my mind playing tricks though!

[chillbro]

How did everyone go today?

Sandtastic, were u the guy who won the wheels? Wasnt he riding a bmc single speed?

Jd

[Sandtastic]

Thanks to all the organisers, particularly Scotty, Erika and Rob.

Got a very satisfying 2nd in singlespeed and then somehow managed to take out the handicap race to take home a new set of wheels. :D:D

Soo a massive thankyou goes to Pivot Cycles and JetBlackProducts for giving me such a lovely wheelset and some other cool rewards and for supplying everyone at the event with great prizes! I've already got them on the bike and they are BEAUTIFUL. :D:D

[Sandtastic]

you riding solo ss ?Is there any other way?? :D:D


Yeahh the 15t hurt up the hills, but it made the difference in the long run, ugh I mean ride!

[chillbro]

Yer it was a great day! I ended up 2nd in C grade. I'll be moving up to B Grade with some more training over summer :)

What is this 4 hour series? Is there any more info or a website we can visit ?

Thanks,
Jordan.

[cha_cha_]

bring on the four hour series .you riding solo ss ?

4hr series, eh? where can i get some details on that?

[ukalipt]

i had a great day. thanks to everyone that put the
effort into setup/rego jetblack prod... etc etc.

man... it was hot and that was a hard course imho.
pretty technical with a few descent climbs.

i was quiet disappointed with my own results.
i think i came quiet low C-Grade but i guess i haven't
really been racing much. only my 5th race ever and
third at yellomundee.

loved it though. looking forward to completing an
entire season next year in C-Grade even if i am
at the blunt end of the field.

PS. the details for the 4 hr series were on the post
of the shade pavilion as you registered.
sorry can't remember the details

PPS. thanks for the free sausage sandwich.

[ukalipt]

i did forget to say well done to andrew lumley.
its really nice to participate in a sport where the
front runners aren't so far up their own rear derailluer
that they couldn't be bothered thanking the slower
bastards like myself who move over for them.
especially since they must spend the majority of their
race saying "on your xxxx" & "thanks".

[Sandtastic]

Too much dram I think Todd. :p

[BM Epic]

Scott wasn't riding....was he?

Too much dram I think Todd. :pI think he was...but that bottle of wynn's michael 98 on saturday might have blinded me somewhat, i'm a little hazy at the best of times, old age, scotta.. you were riding weren't you?:confused:

Agreed. I work at panther cycles with lumley and he is a top bloke. And so is big dog! As you said ukalipt, it's great to have people like that at the club :)

[ukalipt]

is there any mention of when the results would be available?

[crosser]

I'd just like to heap a bit more praise on WSMTB and MWMTB for hosting such a fantastic series. It's encouraging to see such turnout at the club level. I always like Yarramundi a little more every time I race it, and yesterday's track managed to incorporate all my favourite bits, such as Lumley's climb, which makes me nostalgic for Arcadia.

Also thanks to Jet Black and Alchemist's Surly Singlespeed Continuum for the enormous pile of mostly drinkable loot I staggered away with.

Cheers

It was cold, scotta and I would have alleviated you of some of the loot so you wouldn't have to stagger away... ;)

[Gotta Ride!]

Here you go. I had to work last night so I couldn't put them here sooner.

[ukalipt]

thank you for the results!
