I did the eli...Madison's scare the crap out of me. <BR/><BR/>I did the elite nationals madison in T-Town in '96 with Larry. We were in a "bit over our heads". I started "in". After a lap we were going somewhere close to 100mph and Larry came down to get thrown in and it seemed like he couldn't have been going more than about 10mph. Of course Lar weighs more than 190 and I'm about 165, there is no way in hell I was going to grab onto him with that speed differential. I imagined that the result would be similar to what would happen if I grabbed onto a tree as I went by. So I yelled at him to go faster and passed on the exchange. <BR/><BR/>It got better after that. But not a whole lot. :-) Two timely rain delays kept us from losing a lap and we finished 6th or something I think out of 10 teams.<BR/><BR/>Nothing like riding a bike with no brakes at 30+ mph and seeing the road ahead blocked by two teams doing exchanges...<BR/><BR/>I watched a video of a 6 day race in Germany once. Something like 19 teams on a 200 meter track. There are still pucker marks on my couch! :-)<BR/><BR/>Miss and Outs are fun. I liked to ride them from the front. I never got the hang of sitting on the pack and pimping somebody every lap. I was usually the pimpee... It is very frustrating when they call your number before you even start sweating!<BR/><BR/>Points races are fabulous. Track racing for roadies. Just wait for a series of attacks that makes the no sock crowd all go up track when they catch and then counter down below and lap the field.<BR/><BR/>Match sprints. Well, I NEVER won a single match sprint round or even placed well enough to move on to the next round. Once in a three up I was getting the lead out of all time and hoped to come around for 2nd and therefore move up to the next round. But I hit HTV (Hellyer Terminal Velocity) and couldn't come around even with the arm chair ride. It's a complicated equation with lots of physics, but basically it is physically impossible for me to go more than 60kph at Hellyer. If you dropped me out of an airplane above Hellyer I am positive that I would fall no faster than 60kph.<BR/><BR/>Fun stuff.
