Sprint Wombat: Nothing snapped
http://sprintwombat.blogspot.com/2012/05/eric-kausky-memorial-race-on-saturday.html
Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Monday, May 7, 2012. For those of you new to track racing this is omnium racing, meaning that there are three different types of races and the overall winner is the one that does best in all three. As more of a sprinter rather than an endurance racer this was going to be a real test for me. The fact that my training schedule was also a couple of months behind all the others was sure to play against me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Monday, October 4, 2010. First year anniversary - Alpenrose Dairy Clydesdale race.

Sprint Wombat: 2011 National Masters track Champs - Part one: it's business time!
http://sprintwombat.blogspot.com/2011/08/national-masters-track-champs-its.html
Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Friday, August 5, 2011. 2011 National Masters track Champs - Part one: it's business time! The Trexlertown track, near Allentown PA, is 333m 'round and gorgeously smooth as a big bag of smooth things. The straights are about the same length as my home track (Alpenrose) but the turns are wide, sweeping arcs that seem to go forever. We had won a medal at a National Championship! BA won gold in the 40 team sprint. Day 3 of the meet was a rest ...

Sprint Wombat: Rad Racing GP, Seattle
http://sprintwombat.blogspot.com/2010/09/rad-racing-gp-seattle.html
Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Monday, September 20, 2010. Rad Racing GP, Seattle. I was placed in the third row of four with about 30 other riders in the Masters 45 Cat 4 field. Looking around, facial hair dominated with quite a few magnificent moustaches in view. No familiar faces but a couple of lean-looking racers looked the ones to beat. Three ways to navigate the beach: riding, pushing, carrying. Post-injury, I made like a duck and waddled. So for the final laps I ...

Sprint Wombat: Wombat kept going

Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Monday, November 29, 2010. The singular most memorable event that happened during our two days in Eugene racing Psycho Cross involved my bike being skyward and me being underwater. Sunday brought rain to go with the low 40s temperatures. I only had finger-less gloves for the day but was able to apply embrocation to each little finger to keep them toasty warm. Similar sized Men’s C to the previous day. The rain was light bu...Wombat is a mar...

Sprint Wombat: Banana Belt 'training ride'
http://sprintwombat.blogspot.com/2011/03/banana-belt-training-ride.html
Exaggerated stories about a stout fellow racing bikes in Oregon. Monday, March 7, 2011. Banana Belt 'training ride'. It was going to be a good day. Then as things were going well, about 3/4 around lap 1 on a slight downhill, I hit a small rock to the right of the fog line and flatted the rear wheel. However, by the time the dam came 'round again they were already off the dam and up the hill. I was losing ground. My race was probably over. So, what can I take away from the race? First, don't flat. 8216;Th...
