Last night was a really great night at the Velo! Chariots, Danishes, 120-Lap Madisons...and the Race Coordinator creating an alternative holster for a mic. Gotta love it. Here's a few pics:

50+ Masters. This was one of my favorites as the Cat and Mouse that ensued showed me a bit of skill and strategy not commonly seen in larger packs. The back rider was up on the track and the front rider was behind and to the left for a good deal of the race. Some weaving, and spped control, but then the front rider broke out of a gap and pushed to the front. Most people weren't into this race, but I saw it as craftsmanship at its finest. A sport for all ages indeed!
