pink gav's race report

So, the inaugural Thursday Night Fixie Race was held at the Bremner Builder, just above the Baxter in Rosebank last night.

The race started somewhere around 8:47 after a few beers, the format was 5 minutes on the circuit
plus 1 lap after that, 15 points were awarded for lapping the bunch, 20 points for crossing the finish line 1st, 15 for 2nd and 10 for 3rd.

The race got underway, timed and controlled by Dick (of course) and the action was hot from the start, eventually after a few scraped pedals on the corners and some near misses with parked cars in the dark it came down to the final sprint.

Final results were:

1st in the Handbag category was James “Whipping Boy” Dawson

2nd in the Handbag category was Stevie “I can like to be hard” Burnett.



1st in the fixie cat was Pink Gav

2nd in the fixie cat was Santa Dave

3rd in the fixie cat was Camo Dave



Some smack talk and abuse was exchanged, the beer was drunk then we headed down to Champs on Vic (a fine establishment) where James (the winner of the handbag category) bought some quarts.



All in all a fine evening out!



See you all on Thursday the 22nd of January, for round 2 and a new format.

Later boys and girls (we’ll send out pic’s a bit later, not much lighting was available though).
