Hogan Hits the Boards (figuratively)

Taylor Hogan along with Todd Scheske (Preferred Care) and Frank Mesi (Handlebars) took part in velodrome racing this past weekend at the Forest City Velodrome in London, Ontario, Canada. The weekend racing featured a competition between the US, Quebec and Ontario.
The track is one of the steepest in the country and if this picture doesn't raise your pulse, then you have definite problems.
I encourage everyone in competitive cycling to check out the track. There are a series of sessions the track provides on acclimating the rider to the banking, which is very professionally done. With sufficient fitness, and fixed gear knowledge, they will teach you how to ride in a couple of hours.

While it was a lot of fun to watch those that are really experts on the track, I enjoyed watching kids taking part in their own competition. Parents came out to cheer their kids on doing the sport of their choice, just like you would see during summer softball. Only this evening the kids got to play on the same field and same time as the major league. HERE is a picture of a girl who just won a pursuit, and she is carrying the winners flag, in the foreground is a rider who didn't fare as well.
