photo submitted by tad glast year, 8 c4ers had great time to learn how to ride the fixed gear bike on the track at velodrome in blaine, minnesota. the instructor (#1 photo) is front to led them in paceline and to show the rope how to ride safe, etc... you can see the big gap about 6 feet between instructor's rear wheel and alex's front wheel. once they felt comfortable to get familiar with pedaling then tried to close the gap slowly about 1 foot in order to have enough draft.
oh, yeah it is very dangerous but they love the rush thru vein to the heart. wait a minute, i was not there. oops, my bad i took lessons last two years ago in summer. this is not my story but take my words that velodrome would blow your mind! why? of course, 43 degrees on banking in turns!
if you love to see more photos than my words blab.... then i recommend you highly to tom peep at tad g blogs. of course, the pictures already spoke one thousand words than mine. oh, my god, tad includes the video in blog. you better check out his. thank tad for his photos & video! ;)
our thanks to kathryn (#2 photo) for being our excellent interpreter. she loves the triathlon. she also contribute her time to interpret for deafies who joined to race in the triathlon last summer.
our thanks to bob williams for allowing c4ers to have the opportunity to ride at the velodrome for our rich experience.
