Apparently there's been a delay at the printing press because they're fully booked up printing 'Caspar is a Cunt' Stickers, what surprised me was that Winston ordered so many…

:^]

message noted mr capsar.

That might be enjoyable, but would it speed up or slow down the Large Paternal ones work rate? He might ask for more and more and more.

I suppose once the lactic acid build up had got too much Winston could take over.

I don't think that's order of qualifying. I hope not, cos I might not be able to get there till 8...

I think we'll be qualifying in batches of 4 - Winspar just treat us like cattle... but cattle on bikes.

yeah my legs are knackered and i think i have lactic acid poisoning... but what a great night of racing! thanks to winston and caspar and all the rolla helpers.

also cheers to scarlett for being my madison partner :) awesome victory to illy and simon.

I thought BJ would be fast, but i didn't think he'd be *that* quick.... he's just struggling with what to do with his new track wheels and saddle, cos he doesn't even have a bike... :D

Who won the individual event then?

Lots of thanks as ever to Winspar and the rest of the RP crew, including the poor bloke who had the honour of guarding the door to the bikes all evening! My throat feels like I've sucked on 150 cigars. At once.

i managed an epic fail in getting there, i even had a ticket but was overcome with a bout of wierd nausea and dizzyness and decided on a power nap at 6pm to try and shake it off. I wake up in full bike gear and shoes at 12:30am FAIL.
who won the girls event? how did the trixies (agata n stelle) do?

my mate BJ won the men's individual.
women's individual was Joelle
men's madison was illy and simon jackson
women's madison was joelle and her partner whose name escaped me.

trixies did awesome, they finished second in the women's madison and stelle and agata were 3rd and 4th in the women's individual (not sure in what order sorry).

i think it was really tough having the madison and individual races on the same night. the kids that tried to do both were really suffering by the later rounds.
