Hi Hip (and others),
as promised I have finally uploaded the photos taken by my wife at the
Bendigo and Shepparton Christmas carnivals.
http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~geoffg/
Just about all of the pics (as you might expect) have me in them. I'm the
one in the Richmond Cyclery colours (small plug for my sponsor) and the
yellow helmet. You may also be familiar with some of the other riders that
are also in the shots such as Rowan, Sean, and John L from Blackburn CC, and
the ever popular Bananaman.
These pictures include pictures of both Graded and Handicapped races.
At Bendigo I raced E grade (of Elite(A) to F grades). The total number of
riders entered for this meeting including juniors was around 300. At Shep
total number of riders was around 200 and I was racing D Grade (of Elite(A)
to D).
If you want to get practice at racing Handicaps these carnivals are the
place to do it. I only raced these two meets but by the end of the second
meet I was begining to get that "not another handicap" feeling. I can't
begin to imagine what those who had been doing this for all 5 days were
thinking by the time they got to the final day.
In summary I had a great time, stayed upright, and learned a lot, from a
tactical perspective, about racing on the track.
cheers
Geoff
btw. hippy this JAlbum software is pretty good once you get the hang of it.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
