$50 Consolation Event
All knocked-out riders (who were still able to ride) were invited to compete in a consolation event – Team Sprint. Two teams of 5 were formed. Every rider had to complete one 500m lap of the rollers, with their team mates holding/assisting changeovers. Team Red had some novel rider changeover methods, including having a lighter rider already clipped in & on their bike off the rollers and lifting the rider and bike straight on! Team Blue looked like their were going to overtake Team Red in home straight then disaster struck – Thunder Thighs’ chain came off with 350m left to ride, so Sheepstations’ Team Red could then cruise to victory. Sheepstations was so overcome with the emotion/exertion of the event he had to have a little lie-down

TEAM RED in 3 min 15 sec vs Team Blue (DNF)

There were camera going all night, I expect there’ll be some great pics up soon so please check back!

A full field of 32, competitors aged between 6 and 66 years in races that anyone could win. Kyle “Bradbry” Franson was victorious over Peter “P-diddy” Davis in an epic final.

Quite a few thrills and spills and danial-san should be pleased that the handicapping became quite an exact science!
Thanks again to CRUMPLER for some great prizes, as well as the SECRET SQUIRREL who also donated some excellent goods.

Thanks to Port Adelaide CC and South Coast Cycling. A lot of volunteers made it the night it was, thanks to Renee B, Catherine B, Ken G, Tim McE, Alex B, Grant M, Nigel K, Barb the barlady, the BBQ cooker, and some completely random bloke who I think just wandered in off the street and ended up doing all the timing with great enthusiasm for the whole night – Clive! Apologies if I have forgotten anyone!
