The girls and I had a great time out at Alpenrose Velodrome yesterday. I was really impressed with the racing and it was fun to learn more about the different track events. I’ve heard a lot about track racing over the years, but this was the first time I saw it live. I’m looking forward to giving it a try myself very soon. Check out my slide show of the track action!
Reported by Allan:
The HOB Nob (high occupancy bike ride) was a splendid success. The stats:
People –
11 riders, 2 of which were children
Bikes –
1 triple with a piccolo trailer (I guess that makes it a Quad)
3 tandems, 1 of which was a Chunker, 1 with a kiddie seat and a Burley
double trailer
1 single bike with a piccolo trailer
1 single bike with a cargo trailer
1 single bike with a handlebar basket
Destination Goodies –
5 kinds of cookies
1 carrafe of pipin’ hot tea
Those that care to do the math can see we had plenty of spare capacity.
As for the route, its a secret. You’ll have to come next year. It was a
real test of HOB handling skills and had lots of fun and interesting
stops along the way.
