Tuesday Night Racing: 7-11 Velodrome

I trekked down to Colorado Spring's 7-11 Olympic Velodrome this week for Tuesday night racing and it was a lot of fun, I think I'll be headed back next week as well. If anyone wants to bus/carpool down let me know. You'll need to get a USAC licence as those Olympic Training Center folks don't recognize an ACA racing licence as valid.

Velodrome News

First off, Boulder Indoor Cycling is selling off some of its demo bikes at crazy low prices.

Classes start up again on July 5th.

And track cycling will soon be "exposed" to us civilians. One of my favorite things about living in Boulder is the huge number of professional racers and bike industry bigwigs. Hopefully this event/series isn't too expensive or boring.



I also caught a rumor about another party at the velodrome for Bama's send off to Portland in a few weeks. Stay Tuned.

Giuseppe Saronni

Was such a baller that Ernesto Colnago built him frames with his own name (and face!) on them.
