SesameCrunch	Posted - 05/22/2012 : 10:54:37 quote: Originally posted by Velofellow It was great to see everyone. The highlight of my day was seeing 6 year old on the track and even averaging 15mph in the 200m sprint. He really enjoyed the attention he got in the father/son race. There were some really nice bikes and strong riders. I wish the streamliners would have raced in more than just the 200m. Hopefully next year we can get more faired bikes on the track. Greg Greg: Let's coordinate before next year's event. I will bring my 8 year old son too.
Tomslick	Posted - 05/21/2012 : 21:29:12 I had a great time up there at Hellyer. It was fun to meet some new people, and reunite with old ones. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet everyone I would have liked to. I would have liked to talk with Rick Putich now that I have figured out that he was the pilot of the super long recumbent. I did get an excellent picture of Rick giving me the peace sign while doing a warm-up ride. Also I missed not having some competitors on the track like Peter Borenstadt, and Mark King. Well, there's always next year. Tom Amick
Adam C	Posted - 05/21/2012 : 17:45:05 We had a blast. Our rider rode the Bacchetta Strada for the first time Friday late afternoon,.
W Hilgenberg	Posted - 05/21/2012 : 15:06:34 Being compiled by George and Carol. I will probably be posting them up whenever I get them. It was definitely a fun event.
tim_turner	Posted - 05/21/2012 : 13:58:37 where'r the official results?

The-milkman	Posted - 05/20/2012 : 17:16:16 Larry, If memory serves me Greg passed us 16 times in 30 minutes! My goodness. Drafting for me was out of the question, Greg was simply too fast, and you and Phil were just too low to the ground, I must say though I enjoyed the fast laps when I was sandwiched between you and Phil, sure would be a great photo if someone has it..... Great weather and good time.....
Larry Lem	Posted - 05/20/2012 : 15:50:33 Greg Thomas kicks ass in his Quest. Such speed in the half hour race. While Phil Plath puts it to the rest of us. Larry Lem

Adam C	Posted - 05/17/2012 : 10:40:18 Can't wait for Saturday!
Zyzio	Posted - 05/17/2012 : 09:42:31 Larry, It's funny you mentioned the Encino trip, I was thinking about the same thing. It was 5 years ago... PeterB
britCpower	Posted - 05/16/2012 : 12:31:02 I picked up a stinking cold on the flight home (probably) so I wont be racing Saturday. my blog http://britcpower.wordpress.com/
Speedbiker	Posted - 05/12/2012 : 06:28:10 I just can't seem to feel sorry for you.....

He is excited to get on the track. I hope that some other juniors show up. If not maybe you could do a 1k pursuit with him. Greg I am going stir crazy being without a bike in Italy with all these fantastic roads. First chance to ride the trike for me since DMD will be on the morning of the event :) my blog http://britcpower.wordpress.com/
Larry Lem	Posted - 05/11/2012 : 20:23:58 Peter, Weren't you at the Encino velodrome dropping off Christina at college just a couple of years ago? Must have been more than a couple. Larry Lem

Zyzio	Posted - 05/11/2012 : 12:51:20 Unfortunately I can't attend this year, going to LA for my daughter's graduation... PeterB
Adam C	Posted - 05/04/2012 : 19:54:13 Thanks for the info britCpower!

Adam C	Posted - 05/04/2012 : 14:18:42 So what events are planned for Hellyer? Our rider is excited about recumbent racing.
Larry Lem	Posted - 05/01/2012 : 13:22:31 Tom Amick and I are determing whether to drive back that night as the public is invited to ride the course of the ToC final stage in downtown LA before the race. I've bugged others in my cycling club (upright) down here to make the drive for one chance to ride fast on a velodrome, but none are interested. Too far. Larry Lem
