RAIN cancellation

Well, it's raining.

I think I'm gonna have to call it.

If the rain clears by 5, and it seems as though Mr. Bumpy might have a chance to dry, I will go up and set up. But as I type this, I hear hail.

SO.... here is a really cool piece done on that night when my garmin read 119...

Results for 8.9.12

I apologize for the errors. I was not at the races on Thursday and many of the numbers do not correspond with the registration list.  If you have an asterick by your name, I know your number from previous nights but you are not on the official registration list for this week.
If you are racing, it is imperative you register, sign the waiver and provide the number you are racing with for that week EACH night. Thanks

As the Olympics come to an end...

I thought this was a pretty neat little guide to Olympic track races.

Cycling Tips Track Guide

I hope everyone has been watching as much as they can! I watch these races and get a surge of excitement and inspiration. There have been some incredible, beautiful races happening during the course of these games.

Keep watching, continue riding, remain inspired.

August 2, 2012 Penrose Park Velodrome 50th Birthday Bash

Happy 50th Birthday Mr Bumpy Face! What a fun night of racing! and celebrating!

Huge thank yous go out to Brian "Kayce" Shelton for organizing such a great night of racing and birthday festivities!

We may or may not have held the first Keiren in a long time (First rule of Penrose Keiren - no one talks about Penrose Keiren, or at least the driver of the moto).


Tyler was certainly busy all night, with the grilling of burgers and dogs and what-not ;).
Molly made the most amazing cake replica of the track (Look out Cake Boss!!) - it was delicious too!

Special thanks to the Penrose Birthday Sponsors: Big Shark, Stephen Wilkes, Russ & Adrienne Murphy/Mesa Cycles, Schlafly (! For the KEG!!), Joe Stahl and Karl Becker (apologies to anyone I may have inadvertantly left off)

The weather looked uncertain for a while, with some not so pretty, dark clouds moving by. Just as it was time to start racing, a little rain fell but it was as if the track knew we wouldn't accept no for an answer and dried up pretty quickly.  Eva tested it out on her unicycle to be sure it was ready.


We had 31 registered racers and several new-to-the-track people who just gave it a spin between races. I think the spectators for the night stole the show. I don't think I've seen that many people out at the track at one time (the picture here doesn't do it justice!)  Joe Stahl and Karl Becker provided some excellent commentary/track rules and a few history lessons!

The above photos were taken on my iPhone, but we had some fabulous "real" photographers out there:

Photo's from Mike Martin, thevikingstudio.com

Photo's from Tom Bremer


The "Firecrackers" at the end of the night were a nice touch ;)   The cars speeding away on to hwy 70 added to the excitement!

As an aside, we have started to fund raise to maintain/resurface the track. Donations are gladly accepted on race nights at registration.
