Subject: Velodrome!!! Hey all was just starting a new thread for all the trackies out there!!! Some topics to talk about!!

2. ) favorite velodrome!
3. ) tips and tricks to track cycling!
4. ) best memories of track cycling!
5. ) crashes!
6. ) anything and everything else about track cycling!
Here are a couple of my favorites.
1. ) my favorite race is the Madison ( two man team racing ). It's hectic fast and barrel controlled chaos, it's fantastic!
2. ) I have two favorite velodromes. First is the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games Velodrome. To me not only was it fast but it was also beautiful and in a perfect setting with stone mountain being its back drop. 2. ) the international velodrome at bloomer park (ivbp ). It's steep, 200m and fast.
3. ) learning to ride a track fast is simple. Learning to ride it slow is an art form. Take time to figure out how to do this, it helps in match sprints, positioning and the most in a Madison race. Oooohhhhh and tilt your head toward the track makes sighting easier in my opinion!!
4. ) my favorite memories of track cycling are the 6 or so 6 days that I have competed in such a classic race.
5. ) going over a Madison exchange on a sprint lap, rider was thrown up and into my front wheel clipped me went down hard got ran over.
Well there's my two cents let's hear yours!!! |
