Explain these races
Win’N’ Out This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2nd to 4th. Tip if you go for a sprint make
Point score- Riders must score points by sprinting for intermittent sprints every ?? laps for bonuses (5, 3, 2, 1 points). Lapping the field scores a bonus 20 points, consequently losing a lap to the field scores -20points. Winner of the race is the rider with the most points.

Haven't got my act together, ie transportation

[jbcow]

I'm leaving redfern nr train station by 5.45pm latest. Car will take another bike and passenger if any need transport.

Looking forward to this, not sure if beer last night was the right carbs to prepare with.

[shrubb face]

Im sadly missing tonight and next friday as well, but from then on i should be there. Good luck to everyone tonight.

[NOOG]

What time is everybody getting there tonight?
(I don't want to be early and people to find out that I have no friends )

[christian]

I'm going to be there a bit after 6, we need to stake our land claim.

[NOOG]

we need to stake our land claim.

I can't pee in public...It's a nervous thing I think

[Toff]

Good luck team DHBC

I'll be there in July!

[Stuart]

Joanne is pissed off that she can't be there but riding and lunching in France must make up for it (I think anyway). She's keen for Friday 26th, just 24 hours after landing which should be interesting. Go hard team DHBC.

[mikesbytes]

Joanne's number was on display along with the other unclaimed numbers.

Thanks for taking my bike/stuff Christian, much appreciated.

For those who weren't there, stay tuned for the video of me avoiding another rider.

[Simon Llewellyn]

Hey guys I did the maths last night & spoke to Crafty afterwards, there is a strong possibility that we are COMING FIRST in the clubs competition!!!!!

Wow! I didn't realise he wasn't even on the track when that manoeuvre was initiated. Well done Mike, in avoiding almost certain disaster, not something you're really expecting to happen.

[Trouty]

Wow! I didn't realise he wasn't even on the track when that manoeuvre was initiated. Well done Mike, in avoiding almost certain disaster, not something you're really expecting to happen.

You might expect it in division 5, but certainly not in the higher divisions. That is a crack up. I gather he is an experienced rider that just had a lapse of concentration moment?

For Week 2

Bring it!


RAW TRACK Newsletter 2009 sponsored by:

www.Bicisport.com.au



This week’s Races
• Round 1 Warm up Scratch
• Round 2 “No – Race this week”
• Round 3 Graded Sprints (4-6 riders per heat) ….(Hillbrick Series)
• Round 4 Winners Race , Div 1= Madison
• Round 5 combines
• Round 6 Race video replays, Cyclists pasta and Beer in the HBT.

Explain these races
Sprint- [size=8pt]RAW Track sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 3 laps the first few laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics. [/size]
Winners Race- [size=8pt]The race is over 16 laps. There is a sprint with 12laps to-go, the winner of this sprint qualifies for the final sprint, however he/she must continue to race, keeping a close eye on the winners of the sprints with 9, 6 and 3 Laps to go. Each of these riders also qualifies for the final sprint. With 4 laps to go all non-qualifying riders must withdraw from the race. Leaving a 4 up sprint to decide the final placing. You can work out all the tactics on this one. [/size]

Due to time restraints Wheel-races will be every second week in 09
• Round 2’s Wheel-Race will run every second week mostly offset Jnr Development
• This is to ensure that we finish on time
• In addition to the significant Prize Pool offered by the sponsor, I will also contribute some extra cash to ensure the wheel-races are more than worthwhile.
• Next week will be the Pro-components wheel-race

You did dam well.

Apart from my spokes coming loose, I need to do something about setup, its stressing my glutes too much and not my hamstrings enough. Any suggestions?

[timyone]

Here's the live feed, a bit late for tonight, but next time. http://www.viostream.com/rawtrack/

Thanks for this - I searched all over for this last night but couldn't find it. No link from the RAW site, no link from the Viostream site and Google returned NO HITS - Arston needs to look into that last one as if Google doesn't know about you you don't exist (maybe I needed to search for RAW Track live but that's a bit cryptic)

[micklan]

thank god they got the mic working last night...
I had a mate from work come along and with no commentary, it would be a little hard to follow the format - the mic did come back to life and Damo thought Arston's commentary very entertaining !

[timyone]

The live streaming was a test run last night, I think its open to every one else from next round on.

[Simon Llewellyn]

That was great fun & a great turnout last night!!!
I'm quite confident that we not only held our lead in the club championship but exteneded it!!!!

Well done to everyone who made the trip out & picked up some points for the club & those fought the cold to spectate from the stand, it is great to see so much red & black & DH supporters out there!!!

[orphic]

DHBC smashed it last night. Was great fun to watch.

I am both completely terrified and totally excited about riding next week.

[Artson]

Results finally posted
sorry for delay
go to www.rawtrack.com.au

[wallman]

So I did get rolled in the sprint! I really need to learn how to throw the bike rather than thrust my head out - or just win by a mile a la the winner's race!

[timyone]

thanx heaps thats my first madison!! totally out classed by every one else on the track!! (every one else is A Grade!!) but yeah ill keep training

[timyone]

every one check out the video its in the week two results section

these are the lads that beat us

Madison
1 Jackson Law / Jack Bennett
2 Tirian McManus / Joshua Cornish
3 Robert Upton / Ben Harvey
4 Jules Galli Chris Brown

im not an expert on these lads, but Jackson law broke a record held by brad McGee for the persuit, the other three lads in the top three are all fast as, i dont know what actual state stuff they have, but i think maybe some national too! Tirian McManus i saw last year winning the junior melbourne cup on wheels> Ben harvey does well in the state omium, Jules galli has at least a bronze in the state kilo, and was top ten i the sydney road titles. Robert upton i dont know what hes done, but the name rings a bell... and yeah chris brown is an A grader, his sister is Kirsten dont call me kristen, or is it the other way around...

but yeah, all im saying is that we were beaten by some good riders, and maybe should have come fourth!! crazy!!


the missed swing was right at 6:38!! (ou can just see where it was about to happen on the right of the screen) we totally would have had fourth after watching it again!!!!!! simon could have gotten back near them, instead of the 2 or 3 more laps of me riding?!

[Artson]

You have forced me to clear up who is who

• Jackson Law: Australian Jnr Pursuit Record Holder and Multiple national Champion
• Jack Bennett: NSW Jnr team member and U17 National Team Pursuit Champion
• Tirian McManus: Multiple National champion Road and Track + Jnr Team Pursuit National record holder
• Josh Cornish: NSW Jnr team member National Team Pursuit Champion and Jnr Team Pursuit National record holder
• Robert Upton: Former Australian Representative, World Master Silver Medallist Pursuit. Consider the first professional master.
• Ben Harvey: NSW Track Team
• Chris Brown: last season’s runner up, World Masters Medallist
• Jules Galli: some dude from Randwick.

What video? The RAW Live wasn't working last night. Is there a YouTube vieo or?

[Simon Llewellyn]

Hey great night last night! Two placings in the wheel race & I think we should have done enough to either close the gap or move back into top spot!!!!!

Though with the miss two week rule on acummulated entires over the past couple of weeks we may have to wait till week 4-5 till we start to notice the advantage of our consistent numbers!!! But we will drag them back and pass them!!!

Shots off Action Snaps site are copyright to David Lane of Action Snaps. I'm sure he likes the advertising but would probably like the $$ more. I have spoken to David and he's very understanding but I would like to uphold proper intellectual property rights on this forum.

We must (legally) make a distinction between linking to a photo you don't own that's already on the web (i.e. in the public domain) and downloading a copyright photo and then uploading the same photo to another photo site (like photobucket) and linking to it. Without meaning to single anyone out as there are multiple offenders (probably including myself in the past), if you don't get what I mean, below are the properties of the photos linked to above and you'll see the difference.

GOOD = http://www.actionsnaps.com.au/images/zo ... c_3612.jpg

Can all posters please be aware of this difference and act accordingly. Please Do NOT download copyrighted photo's and then link to them on this site (in Action Snaps case, it's pretty obvious, there's a huge watermark C in a circle in the middle of the shot and the file name).

In future I will be DELETING all posts that contravene this standard.

If you link to a photo from any copyrighted photo site, please place a link to the photographers site in your post - its common courtesy - they're trying to make a living!

If you purchased the photo from Action Snaps then it's fine to link to it from another site but a nod to David and his site wouldn't go astray. For other photographers, please check before you post.

Thanks for the heads up Webiemaster
I understand the distinction on uploads now
I actually ordered a few on Sunday - including this beauty:

LOL - Micklan....that's gold. Love it!

Make sure you send the picture you purchased to our publicist - Mr Sharwood. That would make a beauty for the next article in the Press.

[Stuart]

The live feed video was great but the chat moderation SUCKS - the guy is a fascist and wouldn't even let comments like "I think I missed my missuses race" get past so I gave up. Tell the guy to enter the real world.

[Simon Llewellyn]

Hey guys someone left an orange track pump behind tonight. Give me a buzz if you want it back.

As pointed out by JamesC, copyright on privately purchased photos may exclude their use for publications. And I thought you work in this field.

I do work in this field and if you included the rest of James's post you would have seen that it said "Make sure that you read the fine print even after purchasing a picture". Usage rights will change with the type of purchase, the photographer or Image/Library you purchase from. Given we have spoken to the photographer personally - and he has agreed if the photos are purchased from him, we can use them as we wish....I think I've pretty much covered it Wieyun. Double back at you.

Nice report on the RAW forums Trouty

Last night was lots of fun. Glad I didn't chicken out like last week and moved to Div 5. Getting left for dust in the combine was somewhat disheartening, but a reason to train harder!

1) I said "may". 2) You withheld information that wasn't available for prior consideration. So is still pointed at you.

[Trouty]

Correction, no information was with held - you just didn't bother reading properly. It is on the very first post by Stuart "I have spoken to David and he's very understanding but I would like to uphold proper intellectual property rights on this forum".

....end of this time waster.

[micklan]

If you would wheel ur bike instead of carrying it then you can carry a pump or you could hire some monkeys - like M. Jackson had, bubbles 3 etc

[Trouty]

...I did look quite unco-ordinated with the bike wheeling last night. God knows what would have happened if I carried the pump.

I agree but it needed context - there is no mention of RAW at all. A single para of background would have been good.

I must say I did enjoy watching that Div 3 point lap race. Very organised and a convincing lead over the rest of the field. All of us division 5'ers are still learning so it is good to see the success of a well planned race. With at least 5 or 6 people forming our DHBC Div 5 armada, one day we might get to a point where we can replicate some thing similar. At the moment it is basically every man for himself out of survival and inexperience.

Yeh, the plan went perfectly. After pulling the group off the front, I rolled back to the bunch to try to get on the front of it, but they weren't having none of that and rolled past me. The bunch left George to do all of the chasing.

pissed im not going to be there for the wheel race... good luck guys

[shrubb face]

With that handicap i suspect that you probably would of won the race as well michael. It should be a good race, although i suspect that i will probably be caught by the scratchies pretty quickly.

[Artson]

Just so you know

Michael's replacement in Div 4 for TWE Wheel-Race is DHBC rider Ian Dencker.
