A promo clip:

I could fit one in my backyard!  Or the Velodrome Trust could erect one inside the Velodrome, and have a race within a race? 

Masso might actually last more than three laps on the 7m velodrome...
Well, no merger so far....

If it was in your back yard there would be no excuse for you not turning up. 3 laps 42m looks good for my type of time trial, would then take another 5 laps to slow down, darn thats getting too long.

Bill,

I could still fit it in my backyard - dog might protest - but Masso would struggle a bit more.
Well, no merger so far....

Metro,

How tight is the bank? And the slope? Maurice might struggle with his "special" 175mm track cranks. Shalom

Would be interesting to see the mini velo in your backyard all the same MC.

BTW, the preso night and food indulgence will be on tomorrow night at the velodrome rain hail or dry non shine.

anyone in line for a trophy, award or a free feed (MC & Dot Boy) make sure you turn up. Anything not claimed or eaten will be put in a box and fed to the Commuter club members.

Robbo,

Speaking of presso nights, what about HD's last Saturday. Unfortunately, The Ferret had a prior commitment, but, if my mail is correct (and we all know the answer to that) Love Boat teed off at Hadley again about being The Ferret. It seems, if the Love Boat has a nark against someone, he doesn't let up. This suits me fine. First Love Boat has a go at hadley because he graded Love Boat in state D grade. Next, he tees off again on saturday night because Hadley ran third(??) in the HD A grade club title, and Love Boat ran no where. I see a pattern emerging people......... Shalom indeed

I knew you two wouldnt turn up, thats why I didnt have any Iced Vovo's amongst the free food. Mind you there were complaints regarding the non provision of them. What can I say, we dont need any more people scoffing the things and then  trying to ride their bikes uphill.

Dot boy, that full stop dot button worn out yet? You seem to be using it plenty at the moment!

He dots are not for effect. They are the fingers waiting for the brain to catch up. Just like when he has the Ice vovo's in his mouth while his brain should be saying NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The spelling police will be knocking at your door shortly with your "wainting" typo.

Why does our body take 20 minutes before it passes the message to the brain that it is offically full. The average bloke can have a few extra schnitty's in him in this time (or packets of iced VoVo's).
