More Velodrome Madness!!!!!

So today, I got a new job!!!!! This new job is the reason I was in Minnesota. Cool thing is that my new workplace is 4 miles down the road from the National Sports Center Velodrome. I hope this fact gives me some opportunities to get some track time.

To celebrate, I decided to go out and catch 'Thursday Night Lights'.

The racing was really fun to watch. They had everyone from Cat 1's to 5's, and they did a wide variety of the different kinds of races. I really enjoyed watching the 'miss and out's'.

Velodrome Madness!!!!

I found out a while back that I'd be tavelling to MN a fair bit in the coming months.

When I got there, a buddy showed me something I did not even realize was there - A Velodrome!!!!



I made plans immediately to go and give it a try. I scheduled my flight so I could head straight to the 'drome as soon as I landed. Things worked out perfectly, and by 4pm, I was getting basic velodrome training from the track manager.

By the end of the evening, I was ripping around the velodrome on a rented GT track bike. To say it was incredibly fun is a gross understatement.
