Penrose Pics

A few photos from the last couple of weeks of racing at Penrose Park Velodrome here in St. Louis. A lot of them are from the night we did match sprints, which was a blast. All photos by Kent Lindemann. Thanks for letting me post these, Kent.



































If you haven't been to Penrose yet, I highly recommend it. Great track, great racing. Plus, we're doing keirin this week! Racing every Thursday, 6pm. More details HERE.

Casey Saunders Memorial Points Race






































More details HERE and HERE.

SLOW BIKE RACE!!!



Actually, it's a Longest Lap race: first lap must not be completed before 6 mins has elapsed (meaning that if you cross the line before 6 mins, you're out, and you also can't put your foot down or ride backwards). As soon as that 6 mins is up, the official will blow a whistle, and everyone still remaining has to do an all-out sprint to the finish. The fun part is that you're not allowed look at a watch or timer, so you've no idea when the 6 mins is up, but you want to get as closed to the end of the first lap as possible, so that you've less distance to sprint when the time is up. I got second (hot pink kit, son!) Fun times!

Thanks to Gus Miller for the rad drone footage.
