Great inspiration for track racing

Travels and Adventures, mostly track cycling

What you find here is a lot of reports and ramblings about my part-time career as a Masters Velodrome track racer.

It started out as comments about each event, how they occurred, what worked and what didn’t work as far as getting good results and getting through the events successfully.

What it has become is a chronicle of a lot of brilliant, exciting, demoralizing and great times. Track racing has taken me places I never would have expected and found me the best of friends in the process.

Mostly below are pictures of some of the fantastic places and some of the memories I’ve shared with the friends I’ve developed.

Look and read away, hope the adventures are a least a little bit as exciting as you read them.

If you really want to see the specifics of our Track Cycling Team and related race info you can also go to www.pjwracing.com or find PJW Racing on Facebook.
