You guys think I should grab myself a track bike and start doing some track races? Good summer fun during the week? Good training? (Keep in mind my 5s is <900w and I weigh 135lbs, should still be fun though? Prob can use my strengths somehow?)
I don't know if it's a "side". If you have a track within a reasonable driving distance you're foregoing a heck of a lot of fun not using it. Great skills sharpener and great training in a variety of ways.
And my midget friend your size was an alternate to the Canuck Olympic track team.
