Good stuff Will!

Training this Thursday set to “Turn” it up!

C. McFarlane — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:52:40 +0000

This Thursdays training session will focus on the art of the “turn” in Team Pursuiting.

Those who have come along on Thursday and Saturday have recorded some standing and flying 250m times, worked out if a straight line or staggered start formation suits them best as well as understanding some of the rules of the events.

The warm up starts at 6 so be ready to rock and roll!

If there are any U17′s etc who would like to fine tune their slings and tactics for Ballarat I will run through a session afterwards.

Well done Alex – Winner Wangaratta Wheelrace

L. Hocking — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:47:12 +0000

Taken from the Wangaratta Chronicle

WANGARATTA mountain bike star Alex Meyland showed his prowess isn’t just restricted to the dirt on Saturday night by taking out a thrilling win in the prestigious Wangaratta Wheelrace.
In a stunning night for the local youngster, Meyland not only won the wheelrace but also claimed both his scratch races and took out the 1000m handicap title.
But it was his victory in the wheelrace the feature cycling event of the night that was his best win and he said it took a while to sink in.
“I’m very happy to have won it,” he said.
“It was a bit of a shock for sure. It took the announcers a couple of goes to find out who won and then it took me a little bit to realise I had won.”
Starting off a handicap of 180m, the race was set up for a cracking finish when the entire field became bunched with two and a half laps to go.
Meyland, well aware of the pace of the riders that started behind him, placed himself exceptionally well and went for the win at the right time, just holding out a fast finishing Sam Crome.
“The plan was to keep an eye on what was going on behind me, initially,” Meyland said.
“But the field came together with about two laps to go so I had to place myself in the right spot. Then it was all about letting loose at the right time. Sam was on my wheel the whole last lap but I managed to just hold him off.”
