Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

In the month of September as part of the omnium calander it will be the DHBC Club Madison Championships.

After the success of last years event it is time for a return This round will be a 50km event, made up of 150 laps of Tempe Velodrome. There will be 15 sprints (every 10 laps), with points allocated as 5 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd and 1 point for fourth. As per Olympic rules laps of the field will count towards distance, not points so when a team laps the field they will go one lap up and instantly lead the race regardless of point score.

Where: Canterbury Velodrome (Tempe)
When: TBA
What Time: 5pm madison.
Distance: 50kms
Who can race: Anyone with a racing licence who is a member of DHBC.
Teams: As this is a championship event riders may choose their partner for this event and put their entry down in this forum before the day of the event. Teams must also record what jersey/colour of Jersey they will be wearing so that each team is individually distinguishable.

In, untill the beer arrives, then i'll have a cramp in my leg and need to pull out

In. To watch.

hey Jo, i need a team mate

that's a serious team chris, but I think that tom and I can beat you. Can someone check with tom tonight if he can ride on Saturday.

Im keen to ride for sure - I will be a total liability though, maybe we can enter a team
of three? I have something on around lunch time on Saturday - is this likely to be a
standard late afternoon Omnium? Alex - please organise ambos for me, after 50km I
will likely need them.

If everybody gets there for 4:30pm, we will start at 5pm.

Sorry Lizanne:
a) I don't do Madisons.
b) MASSIVE Swans game on in the afternoon so while I will be at the track eventually, I'm not sure I'll be there in time.

Ben: Patty i'm up for that unless anyone wanted to form a 2. Let me know....

Teams so far:

Chris & Bill
Alex & Tom
John N & Wallman
Ben & Patty
Nathan & Christian

Will see how my legs recover after backing up Coota with 14 spin classes
