After finishing the supports' holes, we had to spend Tuesday putting the 200 lbs supports in, nailing them togeyher with 2x4s, and putting the cement mix in. Now while today was hard work, it doesn't even compare to yesterday's efforts.
I arrived at the velodrome dreading today's work. I was sore, and stiff from the repeated jack hammer beatings, and constant shoveling. Luckily we had finished the "hard portion" of the building process the day before, and all we had to do today was place the supports in the holes and secure them. For the most part everything went according to plan, at least until I had to pull out of of the supports so we could clean out the hole, and pulled it out causing it to fall on me and push me straight into a horizontal 2x4 at full force. Let me tell you, having a 200 lbs wooden beam slam you into another solid piece of wood hurts, and my back is still killing me.
After laughing (crying) it off we were back to work. By the end of the day we had completed the support structure, and it was off to the races for me, and then driving back home at around 11 last night. Long day in the saddle!
