Nixa High School Boys and Girls teams competing at the 2018 Capital City Track and Field Meet in Jefferson City, Missouri USA
Fernleigh Track , Newcastle and Hunter region.
The Fernleigh Track is for walkers and bicycle riders. It follows
the course of a railway track built in the 1880s , to carry coal to Newcastle. Features of the track are the 180 metre long tunnel and the bushland corridor it follows for much of the way. I have ridden various parts of the track , but finally completed the 22kms from Adamstown to Swansea and back. Pizza for lunch was great. Swansea is a lakeside suburb on the edge of the largest saltwater coastal lake, Lake Macquarie, in NSW.
The new track bike, I think it is my all time fav bike to ride, rock solid and fast...
Frame
I bought a Velo Ecosse frame (and forks) for £250, it's a Giant frame with a paint job in Velo Ecosse colours. Basically a very good price for a stiff and light frame. The forks are carbon fibre
Wheels
Campag Pistas' 1kg each, carbon wheels would be half the weight but a) I couldn't afford em' plus b) these are my workaday Track League wheels so spending onything frae £600 to £1300 would be daft particularly considering how crap I am! I would like to get a rear carbon disc wheel such as the Corima if I can manage it before the European Masters next season.
Tyres
Conti 19mm Tempo. Ooops I meant to get Victoria Evos' but I made a slitter o' ordering the tyres due to having had a swaley or two before ordering em' off the internet.
Bars and Stem
Deda Pista Oversize and Deda 31 Netwon stem. The bars I love, fantastic shape and depth, no chance of bashing my forearms on the bars due to the gorgeous curve at the top the bar. Only thing I'm regretting is the stem, I'm thinking I should have gone with the Deda 31 Newton Pista stem as the 31 Newton stem actually angles up compared to the top tube of the frame and as a result makes my pursuit position less aerodynamic than my time trial bike.
Chainset & bottom bracket
Campag Pista 170mm cranks with a 50 teeth chain ring and a British Cycling (Canadian made) 51 teeth chain ring (for Manchester and maybe the pursuit at Meadowbank). Bottom bracket Campag Pista canny go wrong with that is my thinking. While an FSA chainset would be a lovely thing I can't afford it! - Apparently at Manchester you aren't allowed on with 170's so oops may have to shell out for a new chainset eventually.
Chain
Izumi V (NJS certified) looks gorgeous but weighs a lot compared to some, but then snapping a chain is not an option as far as my Baw Bags are concerned, thank you very much!
Saddle and Pin
Selle Italia Filante saddle 180g, nabbed off my commuting bike as it looks the bizz. Seat Pin a Deda Magic Stick which came with the frame courtesy of Gregor at Velo Ecosse.
Pedals
Pair of Look CAs which I inherited from my pal Battleaxe and are nice and light.
Handlebar Tape / Grips and Bar Plugs
Courtesy of Freshtripebikes pair of QBP Dimension Track Grips and Velox Bar plugs. Fitting the grips was not to bad as I gave a scoosh of WD40 first.

as i walked through woodland with artist vinek spada close to his home on the south coast we crossed a railway line and I knew I had to get a shot.
The Hooker Valley Track begins at the visitor centre and leads up the Hooker Valley towards Aoraki/Mount Cook. The track passes close to the Alpine Memorial, which is a great viewpoint.The route crosses the Hooker River twice (on swing bridges) before eventually reaching the Hooker Glacier terminal lake.
The pointy thing you see is the Alpine Memorial.
Just decided to do four uploads of this day because there would be too many pictures for this part....
My cameras have been collecting dust. The only image capturing device I use lately is my HTC cellphone. I will try to keep up with my stream and catch up with my contacts. This picture was taken on the platform of Hefei Train Station.
"Operation Track Sweep," an intensive two-week, system-wide of the tracks at all of the system’s 469 stations gets underway at 14 St on Mon., September 12, 2016.
