pics from my field trip to the Dick Lane Velodrome sprint night in Atlanta. My family was headed to Atlanta for my grandmothers 95th birthday so got up a little early, yeah like 3:30am, on four hours sleep, to drive 12 hours to get to the velodrome by 6pm Atlanta time for the 7pm race.
When we got there it was raining . . .
but the track was so steep, with a little sun, it quickly dried, and the race was on!
this is the moto . . .
my Masi looked out of place in the land of carbon . . .
