Bendigo Youth Racing in 2008

Bendigo Youth Racing Inc. is back in 2008! After a productive “holiday” away from the sport of HPV racing, BYR is pumped and ready to go.
Much has changed since our last outing at the Casey Cycling Festival, with several team members parting ways, and the void filled with 5 new faces. The energy is also different, with the younger fellas finally taking charge of the responsibilities vacated by previous, older members. This all adds up to productive, determined work sessions and stable, well thought out training regimes.
Joining President Jarred Henderson in leadership roles in 2008 are Rowan Nankervis as BYR training coordinator, Deven Pierce as Treasurer and Mark Anson as “Carbon frame flow coat” coordinator….

Calendar of Events 2008
Bendigo Youth Racing will be running a vehicle at the Australian International Pedal Prix at Murry Bridge in September. We hope to have a new vehicle, BY-08, complete in time. BY-08 will be a lighter, more refined version of the extremely successful BY-06.

Bendigo Youth Racing is currently preparing for the Wonthaggi Human Powered Grand Prix, held on the 29th of February until March 2nd. BYR has been quite successful at Wonthaggi in previous years, and looks forward to some new competition. Bendigo Youth Racing plans to run 2 teams @ Wonthaggi, with an all male team leading the charge in a re-skinned BY-06 and, in a BYR first, an all female team piloting BY-03. Both vehicles have won a Wonthaggi HPV GP each, setting records along the way.

BYR Take Some Tunnel Time

The Bendigo Youth Racing team returned to the RMIT Wind Tunnel on Saturday October 20th not only to test our vehicle BY-O6 MkII, but also to assist the RACV Energy Breakthrough crew as part of the Transurban Vehicle Efficiency Day. This fantastic opportunity was organised for teams that are entered in next months RACV Energy Breakthrough. The BYR team was responsible for running three of the four test stations which included, weighing each vehicle, Rolling Resistance and Manoeuvrability tests. The team thoroughly enjoyed the day and the opportunity to ride a vast variety of vehicles from Hybrids to HPV's . And for the priceless knowledge that was gained in the wind tunnel for possible future modifications to our Aero Package. We had a fantastic day and would urge more teams to get on board if the day goes ahead again in 2008.
