Hello Velo Keirin pics
May 21st, 2007 |Photos thanks to JB!
Warming up and congratulating Hollywood for his recent engagement. See how large I am? Hollywood kept his distance because I looked hungry.
Super Rookie helps me get ready for the final keirin match. I used toe straps. They are kind of a pain to get into but they really help with the standing start.
I drew the (un) lucky #1 inside starting spot. To my right: The Man in Black, Phanna, BD, Crosby (hidden), Winger, The National Champion and Mehus. My nose was itchy. Me and The Man in Black have the same brand gloves, his are naturally black.
The National Champion is ready for his photo. Winger is concentrating on a good start.
Riders ready, waiting for Bob to come around with the moto. The National Champion is still ready for his photo and now Winger is also ready for his photo. Everyone else is ready to race bike. Super Rookie gives me some last minute advice.
OK, no more screwing around. The gun is up, BANG. Wait for me Bob…
I need to work on my standing start. 3 guys beat me off the line. I also need to work on my finish. All the stuff in the middle seems to be ok.
