Looks like you guys are having fun here!
Too bad I can’t join. Still I am very happy to announce that I am in 3 contests where the prize consists of tickets to the Rotterdam Sixday. I’ve got Tedvdv to join one too and I’m sure Frinking will too. It would be very nice to have a PdC delegation present there. I would so wear my PdC Snuggie! Stand Up!

Flying lap for teams
Getting the pace up, getting high on the track, handsling, one timed lap.
by tedvdw on Dec 19, 2009 5:21 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Team sprint might be a good description as well
But I think that’s reserved for the UCI event: 3 men form a standing start.

About 10 sec for a lap

Forgive me for being a grump but I need a hug.
I’ve just had a big argument with my Mother. I never argue with my mother and when it happens once in a blue moon it really really upsets me. So ridiculous to have an argument about a cross bike but there we go. She thinks that if I ride it even when there’s a tiny bit snow, on the grass, I’m going to have a life threatening accident. The more I try and tell her that races happen in the snow the more defensive she gets. The she told me she was ‘shocked’ at me! And it’s all about how it would make her feel, nothing to do with me and the fact that I have an independent life. I mean, every man and his dog is out on a cross bike in the UK at the moment. I don’t like being spoken to as if I’m still 5. Sorry, needed a rant. Not in a good mood.

Have we all checked the Day 6 schedule?
There’s conflicting info, but it is DEFINITELY earlier than the last five days have been…
Here it says 13:30 – 19:00 local, here is says 13:30 – 19:00 local.
Now, for me that’s a very-late-night job, finishing at 5am. I’m gonna try to show up for the last hour. But in case I don’t make it, I’m sure that you kind people will provide great commentary and interesting screenshots to fill me in ;-) (pretty please?)
