i was totally the other city kid in jeans in that pic, and i really didnt care what any of the other racers thought, though I dont think they cared. They seemed happy I was giving the velodrome a shot. I managed to do alright, even though I couldnt get my cog off at the track to switch out of my city gearing. Still kept up in team persuit, (though just barely.) It was my first time at Hellyer.
I deffinately understand the appeal of spandex now, though. While I havent bought any yet, I will rock some next time for sure.
