 It's going to happen again in the very near future... What are you capable of? "No-one knows, so let's find out!" Current plan is to pair up, and run two sessions, count laps for your lap buddy (lap), then swap (laps)... At the Brunswick velodrome, on a Saturday, after the regular ride - but which one works for the most interested parties? Say your bit here and we'll work out a date. If anyone needs some inspirational 'training' material, please pm me your postal address and I'll send you your "Get Ready for an Hour Record Primer". :)

No, counting will be by laps and metres only. Mr Sosenka's bike looks a bit small for him
In that configuaration he was able to get a fairly aerodynamic position AND remain ok with the UCI :) His saddle even appears to be flat:  heh. And he _is_ the current record holder cobber.

I suggest we do the hour in place of the Sat ride for the following reasons: 1) Pushing a high cadence for 1 hour is hard (at least for me it was). I would not want to do it after a regular Sat Ride. 2) There won't be any pesky kids fooling around the track at that early in the morning. 3) 2 sessions means that it's at least 2 hrs long. Some guys may not be able to hang around for that long if a regular ride is included. I nominate the 21st of April for this event. Des

No. I do not ride for fashion and I do not care if your bicycle is prettier than mine.

Good ideas Des... how about we meet at Fed Sq, normal time, then ride to Brunswick as a warmup... Aim for an ~8 - 8:30 start - so we can be all finished by 11. Also - any chance we can get a few of those click counters? 21st is a great date - Any objections?

I've got a few clickers at home which I can bring. Bullhorns/TT ok, or is someone going to get all UCI legal on me?

You have to ride Sushis. It's a UCI thing.

Well... assuming we can get use of the velodrome, the only rule will be... if you attend the hour club, you have to ride ;) If anyone has a hermetically sealed recumbant i'd like to see it out. hehe Or any aero embellishment for that matter.
