I'm surprised by how many people don't know what a velodrome is (think Nascar for bicycles). I was fortunate enough to see one when I was a child and have always wanted to ride one. I got my chance last year - thanks, Super Rookie! In a week or two I will be done with the prerequisite class that will allow me to race on it. It is such a rush to sweep around the track! Not for everyone, but definitely for me.
Tonight starts the "Thursday Night Lights" series and the National Sports Center Velodrome in Blaine, MN. I will be there cheering my team on. Which brings me to this:
I am not only riding for the Grumpy's/ Little Guy Racing team this year, but am proud to be a sponsor as well. If you look close, really close and squint, you can see my logo on the back of the jersey. It is roughly business card size or smaller. I don't expect business from it as much as I am very happy to further a group of great people and the sport of cycling in general. Contrary to what jealous, opposing teams might tell you, they are a great bunch. Check them out: www.littleguyracing.com
Enjoy these images of the beautiful sport of Velodrome racing. They are from the latter part of the 2007 season.

Does "party of 8" refer to the size of your family?! Goodness, you two!
I DO have a lot of fun, yes. Don't be strangers, now. We are still in Minneapolis. Take care.
