Hello again,

Just received results from the Alpenrose Velodrome in
Portland regarding their National Qualifier Race. Alpenrose is
a 250m concrete track but it has 200m turns (like ours) but
has long straights.

Here are some times for our riders to compete against:
Men Kilo - 1st place 1:14:30 3rd place 1:18:51 (5 laps on our track,
standing start)
Women 500m - 1st place 40:09 3rd place 42.34 (2 1/2 laps on our track,
standing start)
Men 4k pursuit - 1st place 5:11:19 3rd place 5:20:12 (20 laps on our track,
standing start)
Womens 3k pursuit - 1st 4:26:12 ( 15 laps on our track, standing start)

Have you done your Standing Starts practices. Do them on your road bike, at
every
stop light. If you need to know the technique give me a holler.

See ya at the track,
Dale
Velodrome at Bloomer Park
248-961-3705

ps. Mike and Candi Murry operate the Alpenrose Velodrome much like we do
here - lots of volunteering. They originally lived here in Michigan. Mike rode
my portable track and was a active fan before moving to Portland.
