New race results system is up and running!
Monday, April 16, 2012
The Vikings club now has a database for all race results. This will allow members to easily search through race results from past and present. Eventually we will be migrating the entire calendar over to this system so that all the race information is available in one easily update-able place. We sincerely thank club captain and handicapper Chris Drew for his efforts and time in setting up this great system.

2012 Stockinbingal Fair Handicap Report by Andy Collins
Saturday, April 14, 2012
By Andy '_ABC_' Collins
No, not that kind of Stock Report. A report from the 2012 Stockinbingal Fair Handicap Race:
The Stockinbingal Fair was a triumph for the Vikings in a display of
hard work and team spirit which kept the 7 minute bunch pushing hard all
the way to the end. The 7 minute bunch started with Brad Drew, Andrew
Thaller, Alex Cooke, Rob Fisher, Tim Ainge, Adam Ballantyne and myself. A
few minutes up the road were Matt Burgess and Steven Callahan with
another limit bunch ahead of them. With the display of very expensive
bikes and exceedingly fit looking guys behind us we knew that we would
be up against it.
The 7 minute bunch left with around 15-20 riders to start with and
immediately Tim and myself got to the front to set the tone for the race
with a fast start around 40km/h. We swapped off a few turns but the
paceline didn't immediately kick in. After a few words of encouragement
from the back I realised that the paceline had to be initiated from 2nd
wheel so I came around Tim again and we were off and rolling. The hammer
was down up the very slight gradient into a pretty decent crosswind and
riders were dangling off the back pretty early in the piece. My heart
rate barely dipped below my max heart rate zone of 191 for the first 9km
until the first turn! Rob was popped by then along with plenty of
others and there were several times along that section that I thought
there was no way we could keep this up, or certainly not with me still
in the group.
We turned left at the 9km mark and straight into a block headwind and
some rolling terrain. The paceline was still working well though there
were a few riders that were a little sketchy and clearly at their
limit. At least into a headwind it gave us a decent place to hide and
recover for a bit. It was along this next 10km where I took a few breaks
from the paceline at the back letting 3 or 4 riders come through before
taking anther turn figuring that the group would do better with me
pulling turns every now and then and staying attached than pulling turns
until I went nuclear. Brad, Andrew, Adam and Tim were pulling like sled
dogs every time they got near the front with no sign of slowing. The
last 3km of this section was up a 3% gradient hill where the pace slowed
a little but not for lack of trying. Brad took offence 2/3 of the way
up that there were hangers on at the back of our group so pushed ahead
and tried to drop them. He only succeeded in showing some impressive
power by riding away from the entire bunch! When he turned around to see
daylight behind him and a group of riders with their eyes popping out
he sat up and waited for us - thanks Brad.
3% gradient may not sound like much, but with a determined group and a
decent tailwind it was hang on to your hats stuff on the way back down
the hill! We saw that there were a few groups heading up the hill after
us so we knew we needed to absolutely drill it on this next section. I
spun out to 78km/h and if I wasn't breathing so hard I would have had a
grin from ear to ear! By the time we got back to the original turn at
about 28km race distance we caught the limit bunch and had our noses at
the head of the race.
The next 9km was new to this year's course and we didn't know what to
expect or how far it would go. We still had a tail/crosswind and were
rolling turns with a few of the previous bunch who had managed to tack
on. Team QUON's Dominator obviously hadn't read the play book for
handicaps and attacked the bunch on this section only to be caught
fairly quickly and then spat out the back. We arrived at the turn and
only realised that it was the turn because there was a guy with a
lollipop standing there - no cone to go around, so I made the executive
decision to turn and pull the bunch back into the headwind. The chasing
groups were a little closer this time when we passed them, but we still
had enough of a gap to feel a little confident. The group of riders that
were pulling turns kept whittling down but Brad, Andrew, Tim and myself
were solid and pulling strong smooth turns at the front with a few
riders from Wagga riders and one from CCC. When we got to the last turn I
had a look back and surprisingly saw daylight behind us, and what
seemed like about 20 riders hanging in behind our paceline group. We
might just make it.
We were off like scalded cats on the home stretch with a right hand
crosswind and the slightest hint of a tailwind and downhill. The
paceline established itself in the correct rotation which was opposite
to how the rest of the race had transpired and we passed Rob who was
making his way back and offered some Presidential words of encouragement
from the side of the road. The four Vikings Speedshop riders were
constantly within the driving paceline as more and more riders elected
to hang on rather than pull turns. Brad was still obviously super
strong, Tim and Andrew were pulling through like it was still the start
of the race and strangely I felt less and less knackered the further we
went and more confident that the team would get a good result. We had a
few cars go past us with thumbs up and a ute driver trying to tell us
how far in front of the chasers we were. Personally, I couldn't hear a
thing.
Shortly after we passed the 1km to go mark, the paceline rolling all of a
sudden stopped as everyone came to the realisation that we could see
the finish! As luck would have it, I was on the wheel of our very own
Cancellara/Renshaw power machine Brad in 3rd wheel. A quick glance
behind me and I saw that I had either Tim or Andrew on my wheel and knew
that if Brad didn't take it and I faded that whoever that was would get
to the end. We had another rider come up and squeeze in front of Brad
but we could tell that he had gone too early and didn't have the pace
needed. Brad had to back off slightly to get around him and with a bit
over 500m to go he pulled out and lit the afterburners. Thankfully I saw
him about to wind up and could go with the move. With 200m to go I
leapt off Brad's wheel, immediately thought 'oh crap, I've gone too
early' but spun my legs as fast as I could for as long as I could and
managed to keep them going all the way to the line for a great team
victory!
Brad came through and finished 2nd, Tim came across in 5th and Andrew
finished 9th! Thanks to all the guys who came out to the race. It was a
very proud moment talking to the TV sports reporter when I could thank
you all for the great job you all did.
FYI - Stuart Shaw from Drapac set a course record of 1hr 7min which was just over 5 minutes quicker than our bunch.

Bonus handicap race - this SUNDAY!!
Monday, March 26, 2012
Because we were so disappointed at the cancellation of the Goulburn handicap (was to be race #2) and then being stymied by weather and road conditions/closures for the Lookout Hill handicap (was to be race #3), we have organised to run a bonus handicap this Sunday, the Nth race in the series!

Goulburn Track Open (7 Jan 2012) Junior (U9-U15) Race Report
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
On 7 Jan the ACT juniors competed in the Goulburn Track Open. We had 2 JM15, 2 JW15, 4 JB13, 1 JG13 and 1 U11. Many of our riders are from the Junior Development Program and this was their first race. The U17s raced during the senior program later in the evening.
The usual pre-race chaos ensued trying to organise roll-outs, setting up the gazebo and ensuring all are registered and ready to race. Our first rider out on Seiffert Oval was Mitchell Fowler (U11) racing in a field of 14 riders. It took 2 events for little Mitchell to find his legs and came out strong finishing third in the U11 Boys’ Derby. The cheers could be heard across the oval from the ACT camp. It is important to note that Mitchell’s bike was at least a metre under rollout.
Kayla Stevenson (JG13) dominated her field of 7 riders. She consistently pulled a placing for all her events, coming first in the U13 Girls Heart Starter and U13 Girls Scratch, third in the Handicap and second in the Elimination. Well done Kayla!
The JB13 field was split into A and B grade, where we had Johannes Beitzel in A grade and the other Canberra boys racing together in B grade. Johannes pulled a good effort with his cohort after a number of weeks off due to illness, consistently of placing fifth in all his events.
In the JB13 B grade, the field was dominated by Mackenzie Edwardson and Matthew Rice. Both of them were out fighting for the first placing in all the events. Mackenzie came first in the U13 Boys B Heart Starter passing Matthew who was doing all the work in front until the last half lap where he accidently unclipped his pedal. However, Matthew came out stronger in the Elimination by coming first, pedalling away from Mackenzie in the last lap. And the last event (5 lap Scratch race) we saw Mackenzie claiming first place by sprinting down Matthew from the 50m mark. The Canberra camp went wild as we are cheering for both our boys.
The most remarkable rider was U13B first timer Nicholas Short. Nicholas is new to racing and new to riding a track bike. He was the CCC – Canberra Times “Cadel Evans” competition winner few months back and received a free spot in our Junior Development Program. He was on a club loan bike which was at least 20cms under roll-out; however his perseverance and determination paid off as he completed all the events, with an impressive ride on the Elimination event.
Emeliha Jermyn and Gabrielle Millan represented CCC in the JW15 B grade within a field of six riders. It is the first time these girls are racing on their track bike outside Canberra and their performances improved progressively in every event. Emeliha came through placing third in the U15 Women B Grade Heart Starter. Gabrielle rode confidently in her last two races (Elimination and Scratch) placing first in the field. Congratulation girls!
And finally our U15 boys, Tom Peel and Tom Chester were placed in the JM15 B grade within a field of 9 riders. It was easier for the Canberra cheer squad as all our riders had the same first name. Tom Peel rode strong in his first race (U15 Men B Heart Starter), placing second overall. However, Tom Chester came back stronger riding in his very fashionable long footy socks, in his last two races (Elimination and Scratch) placing second and third respectively.
It was a lovely racing afternoon and the Canberra Juniors are ready to go for it again at Wagga next month.
