Some great stuff being posted on fixed gear fever by Clay Worthington. There's a new coaching section that covers standing starts and does a great dissection of Chris Hoy. There's also a section on sprint tactics and terminology. It really articulates and describes all the things we've been doing for years, yet in America this knowledge is gained through experience or handed down by word of mouth. It's great to finally see it in writing. Link to articles

Cast of Characters
- Darin Marhanka -- Overall winner of the 2007 Carolina track season. I can't count how many times he blew my doors off last year. Tactically astute, tons of power, and a great turn of speed.
- Johnny -- The PATRON. A wrestler who can ride a good kilo. If Gagg ever decides to take a 2x4 to me, Johnny's going to be in my corner so he can fireman's carry him onto the hood of his stupid BMW.
- Josh Coaplen -- aka "SJ" (small Josh) He's not really small, and he must be really smart because he's a Cal Engineering grad. He's also a good all-arounder who can roll and sprint.
- Matt Dinsmore -- His math powers aren't too great, but he's our ace sprinter. Go on a ride with Matt and you probably learn anything you want about Nader, Chomsky, or Terkel. He also rode a 1:15 in his first ever kilo. On our flat track...
- Kid Gary -- Started on mountain bikes but now he's skidding and track standing all over the place. His wiry frame disguises a quick first lap in the team sprint.
- Gen Kogure -- a scrapper
- Kevin Lisska -- An elite triathlete that doesn't know any better. Way too much strength than he knows what to do with.
- Josh Reddoch -- an old hand who cut his teeth in the Southwest and Socal. A diesel who's not happy unless he's attacking.
- Ray Von Dohlen -- A modern day Plinkerton. With a name like that he's definitely a real Bahnrennfahrer. Racing since his teens, he has a good turn of speed and power.
