He's doing real well and great to see Simon racing well with the top pros.

HYDRATION 
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 09:45 PM
Looking at the Tour de France 1962 on U Tube you see riders drinking wine in hot weather. You can imagine if these guys were taking pain killers etc what a mix they would have been.

Actually recently I was talking to Hilton about drinking fluid in road races, how little we drank. As an Amateur my longest race was Grafton to Inverell which back then was 142 Miles. In that race I started with one small bidon which was replaced up over the Gibraltar range by a second small bidon. That day in September 1967 the temperature got to around 25 degrees.

In the Geelong Hundred (100miles) we carried one small bidon with no change over at all. Hilton tells me he rode the Warnambool on one small bidon on a warm day.

Really speaking so little was known back then not only at our local Amateur level but even the pros in Europe were not doing much different.

When you look back 40 odd years so much has changed for the better.

Safe riding.

SUCH GOOD YOUNG RIDERS 
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 09:40 PM
Looking at the results and times of all the young riders at the National there will not be a shortage of tallent in the future.

In the years I have been back in bikes you see good groups of riders come through and then move up the ages. You sort of think, they will be hard to replace.

Currently Australia has such a reserve of top young riders in Elite, U19 and certainly U17 & U15.

It's so great for the sport.

SILVER TO JACOB 
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 11:39 AM
In the first session of the Australian Junior Track Titles at DISC, Jacob Schmid has gained 2nd placing, SILVER, in the U17 mens 500TT.

Currently the 200 metre qualifying for womens U15 is taking place but don't know any results.

Tonight's session starts at 6.30pm according to Mick Cummings, and should be ripper racing.

Well done Jacob and sure Mal will publish full results as each days racing comes to hand.
