Wednesday night Track Discussion

[The Ferret]

Fast gai,

I think she made the same skinsuit for Craig. You wear it better than he does and fill it out less in certain areas. Take that as a compliment son. Shalom

Your friend

The Ferret

[Gai M]

I'll happily take all the compliments that come my way.

any news on how bruce is doing ?

[Robbo]

Collar bone broken in 3 places. Sore and sorry but discharged from the JHH and sent home late this morning.

[Daddy Walrus]

Which Bruce?

[Gai M]

Another track night like last Wednesday.

only one female rider over 15, and again the second oldest racer
on the night.


Were Ferret's friends repeating their previous Wednesday activities?

Maybe my approach is misguided.
Instead of chasing everyone else on the track, maybe I should follow their example


Friends 1 and 2 were only endeavouring to ensure that their legs conformed with track "standards"
Friend 3, doing yoga, was very sensibly "cross-training"
Friend 4, I assume was waiting for Ferret to get off the rollers, so she could use them.
(using rollers between races is of course standard at big track meets)
Friend 5 was networking- a very productive activity-although not with Metro this time
as he made an appearance at the velodrome, together with his bike.


Fast Gai
who was racing against everyone else who were superfast.

I spoke to Masso this morning.  He is sore, disappointed but in good spirits.  He asked that his and Deirdre's thanks be passed on to all who helped in any way.

Local Stig find newy Velo a difficult course to get around unscathed, and has joined a growing list of riders failing to record lap times, the Stig was overheard to be more concerned about white skin suite condition the the extreme loss of human skin.

[Robbo]

It appeared his front wheel got caught in 'Masson crack'

[Welbie]

Well i had a good reason to be worried... Skin grows back but as far as i know white skinsuits do not   

[2ndwheel]

Stig

Sounds like skinsuite has survived and will return. Hope you are OK

Robbo

Have you thought of removing corner 3. As for said crack it was a speed bump.

[Robbo]

Poor Stig, his prized possession now somewhat less white.

2ndwheel, not sure how the track would look with one less turn. We could end up setting a trend - probabaly not a good one.

As for the speed bump, that was cleared when the Ambos deftly removed the wounded Masso. I thought the comments of some of Masso's so called mates on the night were uncalled for. Humorous, but uncalled for.

[Masso]

Robbo

I have some vague memory of the ferret and an offer of a right hand, also some mention of servicing but I don’t think that was for my bike. I do recall 1 N Perry being the said speed bump that I went over the top of , but unlike Stig who bounces better than me I did not get up.

[Welbie]

Nothing a bit of bleach can't fix Robbo..

I have to say i noticed said comments as well and wondered where the line was, if indeed it existed at all?

But Masso my bouncing abilities (or as some have said my front flipping abilities) surprised even myself, my helmet had 2 unnoticeable scratches on it and that was it.
I was quite lucky
