Call me Mr.Overtime (monday)

While most people were enjoying a nice BBQ, and time with the family, I was at the velodrome...."working". I received an email on sunday from Brett asking if i could help out at the velodrome on Memorial Day by being a session leader. Naturally, I agreed, and so i arrived at the velodrome at 9:30 to set everything up (open the gates, doors, bring down the first aid kit, bring the bikes down to the infield, bring the pumps to the infield, etc). Right around 10 people started to roll in, even a couple of the local neighborhood kids showed up for some riding.

My job as a session leader was basically just to make sure everything went smoothly, and that everyone felt comfortable. Luckily, the majority of the riders who showed up were experienced enough that i did not have to make any major decisions/actions, and i had a co-leader the entire time so we were never really in any danger (Because who in their right mind would trust me to oversee a group of cyclist all by myself?)


Overall, it was a great day, and we ended up with about 5-6 hours of solid track riding time with various groups of people joining, and leaving at different times! The beauty of this track is that people can just jump on and off anytime they want, unlike a group ride on the road where you are more confined to routes, and time logistics.
