Me, Sunday

I'll wave to yo

I'll only see ya if you make it onto TV. I didn't end up with tix t
Saturday's racing. Costs were getting silly.

Out of curiosity (and yes, i do presume it is allocated seating, bu
for future ref) where is the best place to sit/view at 'Drunk Grey'

Never been there, but if you are talking about Melbourne's Vodaphon
Arena (where the World's are), the best place is probably just after th
finish line in the Platinum seating or at the bar in the middle o
course! You can see the whole track from most places

I've only been to Vodaphone and Blackburn so I don't know any othe
tracks. Vodaphone would be nicer if someone would give me a press pas
so I could get closer :

None. Put the G code in the DVD writer, and take your time enjoying th
ride every night. :

15 or so hours

I scored tickets for both Saturday and Sunday off the internet from a bloke
in Canberra ($80 for two "Silver" tickets)......can't wait....

Gags

watched last night fleetingly

what kind of gearing would those lads be on? Looked like 50-sommut rin
and a 12-13 cog at the bac

think Mr 'man-mountain' Eadie will start a trend with that pint-of-guinness-hanging-off-the
chin look??? :

AMazing to think that the Brit Quealy is saying he probably cant eve
qualify to defend his kilo gold medal

Scroll to bottom for some track gearing info
http://www.delaunecc.org/track.ht

My track bike is 49/16. The street fix will be something closer to 48/1
(~69 gear inches)
