So, yeah... The National Track Championship Qualifiers are at the ADT Center Velodrome in Carson next weekend the 23/24th.

I'll be heading out there on Sunday to check the Madison and Scratch race. You should come too!

I watched an interview with one of the American track racers, at the Olympics yesterday morning. He got the interviewer onto a bike. They were riding around slowly. The racer was talking about pursuit technique from the top of the track....when he fell over and slid to the bottom. Man, maybe that guy should skip interviews and focus on racing.

He's probably not used to riding that slow on a velodrome with a bank like that. hah
