Electronic timing comparison from Saturday Hiwinui Race

Electronic timing comparison from Saturday Hiwinui Race

by | Feb 7, 2012 | Event Reports

Here are the results that Andrew has provided from his timing system. For those people that have 2 results those are the 2 different timing chips that he was trialling. I am not sure which one is which but interesting to compare these times to the times that we had recorded manually. I received an email from Andrew explaining  –

We had originally intended that all riders be given two chips (1 seat post and 1 fork) for comparison purposes. With thetime constraints and number of riders we did not do this but I had set up the software so everyone had two numbers. This left a large number of DNS (duplicate) entrants which I cut from the spreadsheet to avoid some of the confusion. Having looked at the site yesteday I saw that when I did this I inadvertently also cut Hayley Giddens results from the list. Please accept my apolosies (and extend them to Hayley). I attach the list with Hayley back.
 
You also raise the issue of which of the multiple results is which. The seatpost tags are in a sequence 30 – 60, and the fork mounted tags are in a sequence 80 – 100. The results are a warts and all report so whilst they show the fork having the better of the seat by a fraction of a second, in our published results these traditionally are rounded so they both would have the same time.

Saturday Hiwinui Graded Race Feb 4 2012

by | Feb 4, 2012 | Event Reports

Today we trialled for Andrew his timing system. And as the racers started to arrive they saw electronic timing mats being laid on the start line and all wondered if they had come to the right start line. For a club race it was a first and although the results from Andrew will come through at a later date it was all very interesting to see how far technology has come. For those that participated Andrew was doing a comparison between 2 sorts of timing chips, the paper ones that were wrapped around the seatpost and the orange ones that were cable tied on to the front fork. And if you took note of the paper timing chip they were from the Santos Great Bike Ride Rotary Club of Perth.  Hope the trial worked well for you Andrew.

This was the first race of the season and a few new things were introduced behind the scenes to make club racing a bit easier for all involved.

Wednesday Night time trials week 2

by | Feb 4, 2012 | Event Reports

When I arrived at Kairanga there was a light drizzle that had set in. And the first to arrive rearing to go was Carne Groube with the big smile on his face that we have all come to recognise as his trade mark. His question to me was “Are we the only ones here again?” Well it wasn’t quiet 5.30pm and as registrations are not open until 5.45pm I suppose we should realise that there are only the keen ones about. Soon others started arriving and Kirsty Kaihau was spotted putting the signs up.

Track Cycling Results 31st January 2012

by | Feb 3, 2012 | Track Results

A mild night with a heavily overcast sky and a light North Westerly wind greeted the 23 riders that made the trip to the Johnston Park Velodrome on Tuesday night. Most of the riders had competed at the West Coast North Island track championships held at the weekend with nine Bike Manawatu riders gaining selection to the 16 person West Coast North Island team to contest the Rabodirect Age Group Track Cycling National Championships to be held in Invercargill at the end of February.
