Revolution 5

 Introducing the teams

 Glasgow. The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome  ...still a job to think of him as"Sir" !!

 Cat and Mouse in the Match sprint

 We could only get standing tickets between turn one and two, above the steepest banking

 The Pirate, with crinkly beard...he is getting used to it!

 The Man in Black....on the derny for the Kierin race...starting

 all on, and jockeying for position.... and the pace gradually rising until he reaches 50 kph and comes off the track with two and a half laps to go

 then it is down to them....and sometimes photographers get too close...

 and over the line to finish

Out into the cold and glad the roads were clear of snow...and a clear run for the hour and a quarter drive home.

revolution!!

We had a day off yesterday, visited a wholefoods supermarket in Giffnock in Glasgow......just tooo much lovely food and goodies!!

Then to the Glasgow Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in the Emirates Arena to see an afternoon AND an evening of track racing in the Revolution series..the fortysecond event in ten years.

Rather late home....but worth it!!    It was fun seeing people I've known since they were Under 10 (years) racers with the Maindy Flyers in Cardiff, racing well at the top level.
