   Less wind this morning means the Morris twins' 39.19 mph run on the short course constitutes a world record for women's 12-14 multirider multitrack vehicles.  Everyone has now qualified and, moreover, passed the 40 mph mark that allows them to run the full course.  David Van Erd earned the first Hat of the year with a 53.82 mph pass and Admiral Sir Viscount Timelord Jun Nogami did a 45.54 mph run in Peter Borenstadt's DF velomobile, setting an example to Timlords everywhere..  Only one DNF this morning; Christopher Koehlmann in Tempest, when the front left crank fell off    Sheared bolt(s).  Currently hiding from the jammy fingers and germ-laden sneezes of the third graders attending the Show & Shine.

	Windy again this evening. No takers for heat one and only one for heat 2 - Christopher in whichever of the Toronto bikes he was in, who pulled up with another mechanical after not very far at all. Three riders in the final heat when the wind had dropped markedly. 51.52 for Peter, a big improvement to 48.11 and a stonking 56.48 for Lizanne. No legal winds though, so the Women's Multitrack record of 56.42 mph is still safe with BRITAIN'S Yasmin Tredell, set back in 2019. Weather forecast for tomorrow is the Suxx0r.

	Too windy for any meaningful runs this morning. Strong cross/tailwind meant improved speeds for the Toronto PSOs s their bikes sail pretty well! Lincoln McDonald fastest with 58.52 mph.

	Chilly but calm this morning meaning a new World Record for Team Policumbent's Diego Colombari: Mean's Arms-Only, 51.75 mph. Forza Diego! Speeds generally high by this year's standards with David Van Erd in Orange Bullet (currently in white primer) and Daniel Tykei in Cyclone both over 60 mph. David's 62.62 is the fastest run of the week thus far. And Professor Sir Duke Admiral Marshal Timelord Jun Nogami earned at 50 mph hat with a 51.67 mph run in Petr Borenstadt's DF.

	It was naked carbon with optional Kevlar crash panels until this morning, but now... Screaming headwind this evening and reports of an escaped cow. Also a bit of a cockup by Toronto trying to go to the aid of a non-moving bike causing Diego to come to a grinding halt a mile and a half into his run. I'm told there were many two-handed words in the Policumbent van after that one. Best run of the evening was David's 58.65 in the partly-painted Orange Bullet. The nose has turned orange since this morning. No cow during the sweep run. Reports of cow as bikes lining up on the start. No cow when the Italians went to chase it away. Passing Fedex Lady knows how to round up cows but this only works if you can find the cow. We blamed aliens.

	A headwind should dry out the new orange paint nicely.

	They're going to paint the rest of it this afternoon in addition to trying to nail persistent issues with their camera systems which sidelined the bike this morning. It's Friday 13th... Pillbug had a flat less than 1 km from the traps. Kai had to park Tempest because the gear shifter came loose. And after a cold but calm start the wind picked up and nobbled our attempt to set some 600/200 m records by Lizanne and Diego. Big ups to Adam Hari for the fastest run of the week thus far - 68.57 mph. Hopefully we'll get at least one rider over 70 coz Officer Aten will be most upset if he can't write anyone a speeding ticket this year.
