Today we did flying starts...which means you take ~3 laps at the highest (and scariest) part of the track to get up to speed, then come flying down the track to the start line...the idea is that once you cross the start line you are already going Max speed so you don't use any of the actual lap to accelerate.
It was great fun, and tough on the legs.
The boys practiced the Madison...and a few of us girls too
The air in the velodrome is quite dry, in addition to the air quality here...everyone's eyes are really bothering them...Grace though dismissed that theory and said she'd been "Smokin' Reefer in the bathroom"...see
Our afternoon ride was awesome...we rode along the beach..which one? Hmm I think south of Hunington somewhere...it was pretty...
Liza Rachetto saw a golden opportunity to practice holding onto team cars in races, as we passed a local on a motorized skateboard thing, and she grabbed on for a ride...
Then Grace had a flat...perfectly timed at a Starbucks....so we all took the opportunity to sit and relax for a while before returning home
The boys really got pumped about it....
That's all 4 2day...c'ya tomary!!
