Over Before It Started

 

The Challenge

Complete a flying 200 sprint around the Toowoomba Velodrome.

 

Statistics

Distance: 200m


Toowoomba Velodrome is located at Griffiths Park on the corner of Jones and Wattle St.

 

A white line on the far side of the track indicates 200m to the finish line.

 

To complete a 200m sprint, roll around the track for a lap. On the next lap, build speed so you are at maximum when you hit the 200m to go line. Maintain this speed until you cross the Finish line.

 

Note:

Due to the shortness of this event, it is best to have someone time you. There are usually people at the velodrome on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday afternoons who would be willing to time your sprint.

 

If you do not own a track bike, you can complete this event but do not attempt this while other track riders are present (as they do not have brakes like you do). To keep things fair, use a gear similar to a 53 (big chain ring at the front) and a 17 (middle of the rear cassette). This equates to a 48x15 track bike gear ratio.
