And we're off!
Yay - riding the BMX course.
Oh no, dude's passing me!!
Ha ha!
Dude clipped out!
Hippity-hop..
Cursed uphill barriers..
Boing!
One of my favorite shots!
Back on!
And i'm away..
Yay, one more successful exchange..
The pressure's on, being followed..luckily my SARS slowed me down and let everyone by..hehe
NIce to be back on the Velodrome!
This dude wants to pass too...
Marty ready to rocket!
Me, and Dana behind.
He's off!
Tony Z in flight!
And a flying Marty!
Back in...
..and out!
It's Wendy Simms! Come back to the velodrome some day!
Tony and Wendy.
Yeah, badass!
What a nice bike! =P
Woohoo Marty!!
Back in the track, there was no need to ride on the banking...i doubt very many people got much above 40kph.
Poor Dawn, she'd raced a cross race on Sat, and ran the Vic Marathon the day before..a real trooper!
Joele and Aaron.
And Marty again!
Liftoff!
Coming back in!
vrrrmmmm....
Drat, didn't drop her..
There was a nasty bit, getting to this trail section.
Seemingly aimless BMX riding.
Zoooop!
Marty power!
Final lap for Marty!
It's Alison Sydor!
And Trish Sinclair!
Tony Z is unstoppable.
heh - he looks like he had fun!
Final round of the barriers.
Final section of the track.
High Five!! VICTORY!!
Check out Alison's handlebar..eeeep!!
Emile, ready for liftoff..
I wonder where the corresponding photo exists Roland..? =)
Now there's a cutey!!!
Emile ready to rocket!
Uphill off the top, yippee!
Bermalicious.
Lookin' serious!
Pertty background!
Emile races like me, with his tongue out of his mouth..hehe..
Matt Hewitt expertly riding this steep descent..
As well as Russel.
Emile goes up..
And does great coming down!
Max Plaxton rode expectedly well.
One more of Emile going uphill.
And down again..
Ooops! Took that a bit too fast! Emile was fine.
A bit more cautious..
1st and 2nd...
Aw.. Emile unclipping a foot..
Russel!
Yay Emile!! Despite two laps on a flat, and waiting 5mins for a wheel exchange, you did awesome!!
The new Three Amigos! We may not be kicking ass at 'cross, but look out on the track next year!!
Next bunch of photos from Dana! I'm evidently ready.
The Chain-Link-Fence Camshot.
Oh yeah, that's up. I've learned to carry my bike over these things now.
It's not a smile, it's a grimmace..
Perddy descent..did a LOT of uphill and hairy downhill to get this..
vrrmmm...
Yeah, this hairy downhill!
Weee...
It's okay..it's okay...
This went by a lot faster than this seems...
Oh yeah, 90 degree corner at the bottom..
Still alive..
Go...
VEGAN!!
And now a few shots of our Marty...
He was enjoying the BMX much more than i.
Changing his flat, luckily it was a slow leak and mostly ride-able until that point.
Yep, the quick-release is nice and tight!
He's focused.
Check out that mad vein!!
Yay, grass. I don't really like grass any more.
Marty on the climb...
Not sure if that's a smile or grimmace..hehe
Marty descends..
Oh yeah..
Taking it wide..
Rollin..
Rolled!
You had to be alert for corners, drops and obsticles at all times on this course..
Emile takes the descent..
Taking the middle path.
Oh yeah, that's it..
My tired were also really worn..i don't think that helped.
That looks about right!
On more familiar terrain.
The finish!!!
