The blue track should be light grey for the best effect but I don't own any at the moment so only blue track.

Drove around Hartville Ohio with Melanie the other day checking out these train tracks she would tell me about. This picture turned out a lot better than I imagined and I feel its one of my best pieces so far.

 

Ive done a shot like this before and I wanted to try it out again. As you may not have noticed I copied the left side over to the right side and tried to change it up a bit so it didn't look so obvious. Either way Im really happy with it.

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.

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....

The Tracked Raper system started life as a US M548 Tracked Carrier, developed by BAe Systems for Iran, however with the fall of the Shah's government BAe offered the system to the Royal Air Force. The first Tracked Rapier's entered service with the British Army's 11 (Sphinx) Air Defence Battery of 22 Air Defence Regiment , Royal Artillery in 1982-83. The Tracked Rapier was slow, cramped and generally uncomfortable to be in due to the fact the driver, commander and operator lived in the vehicle. To add insult to injury the crew had to deal with the Optical Tracking Unit inside the cab along with personal kit and rations. However deployment time of the Tracked Rapier without Test & Adjustments was just 30 seconds compared to the 30 minutes of the towed Rapier System. The Tracked Rapier was accompanied by a Support Vehicle which carried arms, fuel and water however the support vehicle was much faster over rough terrain and crewed by two rather than three men.

 

The original Rapier FSA saw use in the Falklands Conflict with less than rosy results. It was deployed against low flying aircraft . In 1982 T Battery joined 3 Commando Brigade as part of the Falklands Task Force, they landed at San Carlos Bay. Early post-war results were favourable indicating 14 kills and 6 probables. Later analysis however showed as few as 3 aircraft were actually downed by the Rapier FSA.

The main problem of the Rapier FSA was range and the lack of of a proximity fuse, a deficiency which required the operator to directly strike the target aircraft. Rapier also suffered problems with Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) although this didn't contribute to the poor performance. However the Batteries in the Falklands were permitted to fire on any target unless specifically instructed otherwise.

 

The issues of the original Rapier FSA were however dealt with and the Rapier missile remains in service with the British Army as the Rapier FSC ( Field Standard C) which was developed by MDBA, the Rapier FSC is used in a combined system with the Blindfire 2000 Tracking Radar and Dagger Surveillance Radar.

Eight Rapier Missiles can be carried ready to fire, each with a high explosive warhead and missiles (designated MK2B) are fitted with a proximity fuse. Rapier FSC propulsion system is a two-stage enhanced solid-propellant rocket motor capable of Mach 2.5. The guidance is automatic infra-red and radar command to line of sight.
