DHBC Omnium 25/09/2010 in conjunction with nsw bike week!

[Simon Llewellyn]

G'day all,



In conjunction with nsw bike week DHBC will be having an omnium, which will be fixed set events aimed at entertaining a crowd. It would be great to see a veriety of racing and a variety of different ages and genders involved but people will need tyo sign up in advance so that it is well organised on the day.

Where: Canterbury Velodrome (tempe)
When: from 10am to 2pm
Who can come: Everyone!!!!
Will there be a bbq: Yes!!!!

The events will be finalised this week an then people will be able to sign up to ride particular events by posting on this thread. It is likely to be a massive event which will attract a large crowd & should be lots of fun!!!!

[Karzie]

If there was prize money and Crafty announced it at RAW, you'd probably get a few more takers...
I'd put $100 toward something like a team pursuit. If the win was $100 per rider, you'd get some clubbies along I reckon.

[Simon Llewellyn]

I'm not really looking for big money/ big fields because that equals big crashes & that's definitely not what we would be trying to acheive with demo racing. The council wants an inicident free day from us with minimal risk.

But I would like a prize for the juniors wheel race if you are offering?

Cheers Simon.

[Karzie]

I would like a prize for the juniors wheel race if you are offering?

Sure. Do I get to start the race?

[Simon Llewellyn]

Yeah of course. We will need to work out the prize, I don't think cash is really appriate.

[Karzie]

Maybe a voucher?

[Trouty]

Bugger - Stu and I will be at a wedding. Have fun every one.

I have a 1 hour spin class in the morning, so I'm happy to help out in some official form, otherwise I'm make up the rear of the field

Cheers Mike, I'll put you down! I'm meeting up with Colleen from the council tomorrow night, so I'll let you know what is needed.

The racing is planned to be pretty easy going so maybe it will be an official job & a bit of riding. We'll see.

[jbcow]

Put me down as a participant. I can also take photos if you like (when not riding)

[Camilla]

Yeah! I'm totally there. Nothing can stop me this time. I'll be fresh of the plane from Amsterdam at 8am and surely no one can put anything in my way in that timeframe!

[timyone]

photos would be heaps good

[Simon Llewellyn]

[timyone]

oh cool as! will be good to see you ky!

[Karzie]

Here's the poster....

[mikesbytes]

Ian, do you want to put a time on that poster?

[Karzie]

Ummm... good idea!

[Karzie]

[timyone]

nice as!!! it looks familiar for some reason.
Ummm about the time, we have already put a heap in shops.. might need to go around and write some on hey :S

[Trouty]

Bugger - Stu and I will be at a wedding. Have fun every one.

Actually, Stuart and I should be able to come down for the first hour - before we have to leave for the wedding...possibly photo duties?

[Eleri]

I'll be there. Is there a job someone would like to allocate to me?

[timyone]

if no one tells you any thing to do before hand, im sure if you turn up on the day there will be things to do, even if they are drinking coffee and eating things

[T-Bone]

I'm willing to make the sacrifice and swap jobs for the drinking coffee and eating job.

[Eleri]

Well I don't want to turn up on the day and discover the "cooking sausages" job is the only one on offer. I don't know that I would be able to offer good advice on "what to wear while cycling" given limited colour palette in my own wardrobe. Is matching hats and gloves still the right approach?

[Karzie]

Well I don't want to turn up on the day and discover the "cooking sausages" job is the only one on offer.

I thought only men were supposed to operate the bbq machine....

Hey Eleri, just bring your track bike and have a race. We need lots of contenders or we'll all get tired out keeping the entertainment going!

[Eleri]

Yes, well there is that track bike problem. Combined with no clue - might certainly be entertaining for others!

[Simon Llewellyn]

There's plenty of jobs still available, all very easy!!! Though I'm not sure that the bbq is one of them.

I'll put you down EMT.

[jbcow]

I'm offering to take lots of photos and upload them but I'm not shy of helping out with setup or other jobs, just let me know.

[mikesbytes]

What time is the racing?

[Simon Llewellyn]

Starts at 10am with flying 200ms & then a sprint derby. There will be about 4 different events throughout the day & you don't have to ride them all.

[mikesbytes]

My ETA is 10.30, so I'll probably miss the flying 200

[jbcow]

Is there still a penny farthing race, that will make my day

[T-Bone]

I don't think we're having a penny race, just a demonstration. I'm not willing to risk the Penny sliding down the banking.

[jbcow]

I've never seen one rolling in person so I'll be pretty happy with the demo to be sure, looking forward to it

It was great there were so many juniors there and I liked watching them race. Go the juniors!

[timyone]

Hey JB Cow, those photos are awesome, especially the one in full flight with Ian D and the guy in Pink - they look very professional. Looks like we have a few good photographers in the club now.
