Fast Rolling Free For All
Want to see how you measure up? Challenge your buddy to a one-on-one or thrash the courier who beats you up Franklin Rd every bloody morning on that filthy mutt of a single speed (how dare she). Its only 440 yards; how hard can it be? All you have to do is PEDAL FASTER!

Entry on the night is $10 – we will race as many riders as time allows. First in first up.


Super Elite (time to put your money where your mouth is) Invitational Classic
Racing by invitation only. So you think you’re the best in town? Perhaps you really were, back in the day.
It’s time to get up and prove it. Submissions are now open for past masters, inter-shop rivals or anyone in
the industry who has long standing grudge/chip on their shoulder that needs knocking off. You can even
specify your opponent.

Entry fee: Supply a prize for the Fast Rolling Free For All.

We dug the rollers out from under the Manukau Velodrome. As they were made in 1950, we’ve decided to stay true to that era and are enforcing a maximum gear of 96.4 inches (recommended ratios 53 x 15, 50 x 14, 46 x 13). All bikes will be measured to a 7.499m roll out and have shifters taped. Anyone caught cheating will be ridiculed and forced to buy a round of beer for all other racers on the night. For safety reasons all riders in the Fast Rolling Free For All will be held. This is not a UCI sanctioned event and you will not be drug tested. Riding in costume is encouraged with free entry for anyone who races in an authentic Mexican wrestling mask. Submissions for the SEIC can be made on 300 5099 or to gayle@solocc.com
