Burnaby Velodrome Six Day

Spent a couple of nights this past week at the Burnaby Velodrome, watching the Six Day race. In 2005/2006, I was fit enough to ride the madison and suffered night after night against a lot easier competition than what's up for this event. Pearce & Friedman from Slipstream are the world ranked #2 madison pairing and they're currently 2 laps down on Symmetrics' Tuft & Bell -- a couple of amazing riders in their own right, Tuft the #1 ranked cyclist in North and South America for 2007 and Bell a seasoned World Cup track rider, as well as an impressive road cyclist.

Anyhow, one more night - if you have a chance, go watch. It's amazing.

And if you don't get a chance, here's what it's like to ride the boards of Burnaby. You too can take a Learn to Ride lesson and experience the thrill for yourself.
