September 23, 2004 – Since there was a small turnout, the Madison evening
turned into a mini track meet. The club set up a 70 meter oval in the
Hershey north car park and ran an interesting programme that included a 10
minute pace line session lead by Pavan ex-trackies Ed Maset and Mark
Polsinelli, a 1-km time trial, a series of match sprints, and a
miss-and-out. The Hershey people kindly turned on the lights for us and we
were able to complete the schedule without a hitch.

Despite the fact that most of the 12 participants had not ridden on a
track, the kilo’s were remarkably well-ridden, and the majority of riders
had decent starts and managed to hold their speed quite well into the final
200meters, where most slowed. The sprints were also keenly contested and
there were some remarkable displays of tactical savvy. The miss-and-out, or
“Devil take the hindmost” as a few of us knew it, was another matter and
several fast riders were eliminated by being caught off guard. The evening
was a great success, and most riders asked if we could have more evenings
like it. Thanks to Peter Rodrigues for donating the miss-&-Out prize money.
