My foray into the velodrome

Wonderful thread thank you

nice one :)
saw you racing last week or the week before. you have a good position on the bike!!
catch you at training sometime

Thread keeps giving.

Winning a devil at at a velodrome full of devil specialists is extra special! You backed it up with a good result last night. Well done on this season and I'll have to come over and introduce myself next time (VCL rider on a black and silver Hallett).

I really enjoyed this thread, great to see you enjoying the track and moving up the results.

I loved my Planet X track, really good for bunch racing and plenty aero enough for me for team pursuit, Kilo, team sprint etc. great bikes.
Be careful not to strip the seatpost bolt/ clamp

Just found this thread - what a fab read! Delighted for you with the progress and results and that is no doubt the best looking Planet X I’ve seen (and I have an irrational dislike of red bikes!).

Yes really happy with that result too. I think I had it in my head that I suck at elimination/devil. But I think I was overthinking it before, one of the best bits of advice I had from the coaches is to race it like you're paranoid!

I was surprised that the "spin it to win it" didn't seem to affect me too much last Wednesday. (FYI for others we were limited to youth gearing 88" for one round of track league) so it was hilarious to see everyone spinning like crazy.

Yes would be great to say hi next time you're at the track.

Beautiful bike, great pics! there are actually a few of them around Herne Hill as well, it's a shame they don't make them anymore. I've only adjusted the seat post once and left it but will watch out for it!
