You were going OK last night, good false tempo riding... not necessarily the easiest or most fun way to ride.Trek_Arty wrote:Done!! Should be a good day, now to try and find some damn form

I'm interested in having a crack at it. Was just over at the armory a few weeks back and even that looked interesting.
Do you need a current racing license or just front up with $25 fee, and what grade would you be placed if you've never raced ?

Will need a licence mate.
I'm definitely keen to race at SOP, only weekend this month I'm free. What's grading like at different races? I was a bit surprised at how easy C was at the drag strip last night. Not that I was strong enough to make any attacks stick, punching away during a lull is the easy bit.

Yep, you need a license. If you get one now, it will be valid for the rest of 2013 and all of 2014. 15 months for the price of 12. Make sure you put Lidcombe Auburn as the club you want to join. Why? Because I said so.black4tress wrote:I'm interested in having a crack at it. Was just over at the armory a few weeks back and even that looked interesting.

We've got twilight racing at the Armoury over the summer. It's a nice track, save for the annoying corner.
I can give you a better idea about that when I see a fuller start list. There are genuine C and D graders in there, but whether they race down a grade is yet to be seen. You don't have to nominate a grade yet, rather work it out on the day. You can usually work out which grade to join by looking at who else is riding in it. We'll have people to help if you need advice. You're always welcome to race A grade if you find the competition too easybrendan c wrote:Will need a licence mate.

Might have to pass on the license till the following year. Have filled up my quota for cycling related races/rides till mid next year. I'll come by and spectate.
btw - I've already picked LACC for my yearly insurance and I live around the area so it will be the club I join when I do start racing.
