About this Event
This event will take place at Adcock park velodrome in West Gosford on the central coast NSW. The focus of the event will be to set personal best times in the 1000m standing start, 200m flying and 4000m standing start. The length of the track has been professionally surveyed and all times will be recorded using professional automated bicycle transponders (MyLaps equivalent) so any times set will be considered true to professional standards. If a world record in your age, gender etc category is set this will also count.
The event starts at 9am on saturday May 4th and the order will be as follows. The track hire is for the entire day so each participant will get sufficient warm up time before each event. once everyone has completed their attempt the timing will be moved and set up for the next event.
- 1000m standing start
- 200m flying start
- 4000m standing start.
The Velodrome is suitable for unfaired record attempts.
