Will be changing up the track from week to week to make things fun and interesting. Those that rode last years series will have a bit of an idea as to how we will be doing things - fun and friendly with the winner each night in line for a chocolate fish. Not sure if we will have an indoor event to close the series, but will probably come up with something interesting to either amuse or annoy someone, or everyone ;)

Sorry about the late info but my TeAroha crash kind of slowed me down some.

Numbers bratha - numbers.


Might hook out the SS and with you and Sestoon we got a class I guess. Will see who fronts, but the track just might be suitable for a SS to win the overall :sly:

Plenty dark enough to move it forward half an hour already Russ.

Looks that way, but flyers are printed and an email is going out - with first round Wednesday pretty hard to change now.

Still, is 1/2 hr earlier than last year if I remember.

Please note that we have moved the start time forward 1/2 hour as it is most definitely dark enough and several members contacted us saying that they preferred the earlier start time.

I will be hand writing plates if we do start with that many - I think there are about 40 left from last season. Maybe drag out the old club plates if necessary, but was not looking at too much expense for this one.

I'll be there on the SS. Will have to dust off the lights and make sure they are charged! Hopefully a bit faster this season than the last :paranoid:

We may be able to come to the rescue, there is about 30-40 plates leftover from the cyclecross Nationals you can have.

Pain Train may actually be turning up this year since you are in control Russ....much to Datsane's delight :D . Mancake, Vincenzo, Sasky, Brutacus, Focker and co have committed themselves for the 1st one (if its not raining - see rule #99 but then riding a singlespeed now trumps that rule as null and void - continue as normal).

I take that to mean that you have not removed it from your bike yet?

Ah well, if I actually make it along to any of these night races I can bring my 3 1/2 numberplate from last year. :D Datsane, do you want the trophy back?
