  1. Anyone know the (minimum) lengths of the Hawthorne outdoor Valodrome near Kooyoung ? i.e. measuring from the innner most track.

  2. No, but this is good for a giggle.

    Interesting site.

  4. once again, try posting on the Bicycle Vic forum, coz I think there are quite few Hawthorn guys on there that should know

    The Hawthorn track ain't too great -- it has hills in it :p

    It's pretty small, too -- I'd say less than 250m

    Looks like a good forum but might take over 7 days to complete my registration. Is there a bump in it as well?

    7 days? It took me minutes. Maybe it's changed

    There's a just a couple of very small humps -- not too bad, but probably bad enough to make them not up to club standard, in my opinion. I reckon there's also a slight rise on the southern side, and a corresponding dip on the north side. And a lot of it has no fence!

  7. It's more a fun sort of velodrome, rather than a serious facility. On the other hand, Carnegie velodrome at Packer Park is excellent.

    Inside track is 325m (according to the GPS, so give or take 5m).

    Unfortunately, admin there only process registrations once a week. Lots of spammers signing up so automatic entry was stopped.

    GPS on the bike. Garmin Edge 305.
    It counts the laps for me, gives me lap times, heart rate, etc etc etc.

  12. Just been there. I can feel the uphill and downhilll so much so that I had to shift gears during a lap.
