I said I was going to be doing a crit aftewards.. surely that counts as a valid excuse for missing AlpeDueEast? On Topic: How many of the BRx riders can do the same thing on a Saturday morning, thereby leaving Sunday free for racing? hippy -- hippy |

That's road racing day until track season gets underway again. The Sunday ride for me is a recovery ride. I don't know what I'm going to do on Sundays once the crit season starts as it's a bit hard to be in two places at once. I'll have to decide 100K+ hilly AlpeDueEast ride or 130k+ easy flattish ride with a Port Melbourne Crit thrown in. Hmmm. Geoff |

I check the calendar and 80% of the races are at places I've never heard of! I'm only good in crits (at least until I work out track racing) so I'll be doing any Blackburn crits and Glenvale plus any others that my legs can deal with. Are the Port Melb. crits the ones that SKCC runs? I thought they stopped doing those? I've really got to weasle my way into some racing bunches so I don't lose track of what's going on in the Melb. race scene.. hippy 'on the outer' -- hippy |

I check the calendar and 80% of the races are at places I've never heard of! I try to race every week but until today I haven't raced since the Victorian Metro Road Championships. Work commitments and an illness that would not go away prevented me from racing. Generally I race with the Northern Combine unless there is a South-Eastern combine event that takes my fancy.

Are the Port Melb. crits the ones that SKCC runs? I thought they stopped doing those? Yes, the Port Melbourne Crits are the SKCC ones. We did loose our permit at the end of the 2002/2003 season but with the brilliant work of a few exceptional club members they returned for the 2003/2004 season. There was a lot of work put into complying with the conditions of the new council permit and a lot of costs were incurred regarding the signage etc required to make the event happen as well as the cost of marshals and a police presence. I've really got to weasle my way into some racing bunches so I don't lose track of what's going on in the Melb. race scene.. At the moment the best sites for getting info on club racing would be www.coburgcycling.com www.blackburncycling.org.au www.carnegiecycling.com.au www.hawthorncycling.org Geoff |

BR7 - AlpeDueEast ride
Geoff I try to race every week but until today I haven't raced since the Victorian Metro Road Championships. Work commitments and an illness that would not go away prevented me from racing. Damn! I only seem to do that in summer. Are they all long scratch races or handicaps or what? I've only ever done one handicap.. in Mildura. Generally I race with the Northern Combine unless there is a South-Eastern combine event that takes my fancy. What exactly are the 'combines', ie. which clubs are combined into which er.. combines? Yes, the Port Melbourne Crits are the SKCC ones. Will they be running for 2004/2005? At the moment the best sites for getting info on club racing would be www.coburgcycling.com www.blackburncycling.org.au www.carnegiecycling.com.au www.hawthorncycling.org Yeah.. more time spent on the web.. it never ends! hippy -- hippy |

"hippy" wrote in message ... Are they all long scratch races or handicaps or what? There's a bit of a mixture. The handicaps are always longer and harder than the normal C/D Grade Scratch race. If you want a better idea of the frequency of events just check the club calenders. What exactly are the 'combines', ie. which clubs are combined into which er.. combines? Again the club sites have all the info on who's in what combines. Yes, the Port Melbourne Crits are the SKCC ones. Will they be running for 2004/2005? I haven't heard anything to say that they won't. Keep an eye on www.skcc.com.au a bit closer to the start of the summer season for more info. Geoff |
