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.
