Track Season Begins

First Yksivaihde.net Breakfast Track Session of the season. Was fun again after the long winter but I sucked. Will try harder! Will push bigger gear! Will spin! Will MASH!

Zykkeli took the photos.

Lap At The Track

Helsinki Velodrome (last rides for the season) from Miglos on Vimeo.
Here's your special chance to experience (almost full) 400 metres of the Helsinki velodrome with Miglos, who's riding my old Sannino Pursuit, actually. Kind of a virtual reality tour in a way.

At the Helsinki 'drome Again

The Yksivaihe.net weekly Velodrome morning session today.

Fun times with two Italian pursuit bikes, one Keirin bike, one Steamroller, one Aerospok, way too many cargo shorts, sneakers, skateboarding helmets and spokecards... ;)

Great picture from our Velodrome in Käpylä, Helsinki which apparently turns 70 years old today. Congratulations if this is true?!

Waiting

It is still like that. But it really should be like that...

Finnish Track Cycling Championship 2008: And Some Old Men On Hot Track Bikes!

The Finnish Track Cycling Championship 2008 happened at the Käpylä Velodrome in Helsinki about a week ago. Don't ask me about who won or what kind of times people got 'cos I wasn't there and I don't actually even really care. Anyhow, they apparently also had series for different age groups because if you look at the photos here, you will notice that all the hot bikes seem to belong to the older dudes, some of who you'd maybe rather not see wearing those skin suits... 

But just look, for example, at that Bianchi pursuit bike pictured, could that guy possibly have any more hipper bike, now could he? Ok, he maybe could have had a Campy disk wheel in the rear with a MASH SF sticker on it, but still. Forget about those road double cranks and notice instead how he has put some tape over the valve hole of HED3 front wheel to make it even more aerodynamic!
