The Whoops Tick Speedbike Team

World Record Attempt
Well, the gods of speed have decided that Whoops is in need of a challenge. SO we have accepted this , and thus, Ben & I are going to have a crack at the elusive Dempsey Macready Prize: Breaking 90km in one hour under only human power!!! The attempt will be made before July 1, as that's when the prize will be awarded.
So, what does this mean to Whoops. Well, it means Whoops will be handed over to a far better rider, yet to be confirmed, as a training bike. Ben will build an all new Whoops. And we will have a most challenging 7 weeks.
Venue is resonably critical, as the rules of the DM require at least on lap to be completed, and the start & finish points need to be within 5km of each other. So, we are on the lookout for a super smooth banked track... Car manufacturers testing tracks seem the most likely. There are 3 of these in Victoria, so these will be assessed soon.
We are in need of some sponsorship, as the new bike will cost a fair bit, plus all the incidentals. Offers? Fabulous!
So news soon about venue & rider & new bike & opportunities, stay tuned.
