Not many hotels close by. Found Budget 1 Hotel in Preston on booking.com. 3.6km from the venue so not really walking distance...mikesbytes wrote:I've entered the M5 IP and Points at the Aussie masters champs. Air tickets booked. I was hoping to get accom walking distance from the velodrome. Any suggestions please PM me. Is there anyone who could give me a lift?
Can't help you on Thursday as I am at work that day, but could possible pick you up on Saturday if you end up staying close to DISC?

Stanhope would be great. I'm at Quakers ha ha most of our 'mighty ducks' crew is from the North WestXplora wrote:Penrith needs closer velodrome access to get a bit more interest... I reckon something at Stanhope Gardens near the pool would be a good one, puts it in reach of the Hills, Windsor and Blacktown. It's hard, because there are a lot of guys coming down from the mountains, and DGV is a LONG way from them. DGV feels a long way from me in Seven Hills!
Made the trek to DGV for RAW last year and summer series this year. Certainly a lot further to go compared to where I lived in relation to speeddome in Perth!

It was a good experience an chance to see how much more work I need to do before RAW.
Managed a 3rd in the scratch but in the process burnt all my matches and the box they were in!

foo, your Qld buddy Patten won the pursuit, points race and 150+ teams pursuit at NationalsDerny Driver wrote: Patton is multiple Australian Pursuit champion.
He had a bit of practice taking out the NSW pursuit as well, leading up to nationals. 3:29, ten seconds quicker than anyone in NSW.
I walked the line for him a couple of years ago. Got a look at his schedule. He was riding 102 inches.

Last night indoors at DISC, first race I'm in 3rd wheel and the guy in front of me went down coming out of the turn into the back straight. He got too close to the wheel in front and he steered his front wheel onto the duckboard which then washed out. I had no time to react and went straight over him for a full height somersault. Landed heavily on my left shoulder - not a mark on the helmet but the end result is a broken collar bone! All is aligned so they suggest the conservative approach and just sling. Will look at the possibility of pinning...

Saw a sports doctor today - he feels how my bone is lined up that there would be little benefit pinning, but I still organised an appointment with a surgeon on Tuesday for their opinion.
