Worlds Shortest Ride Report - Babbitt - 08-16-2015 09:05 AM

I spent the afternoon getting training to be a driver for Keirin racing and motor pacing at the NSC velodrome. The velodrome is a 250 meter oval with 45 degree banking in the corners. Yes, it is as much fun as it looks. A minimum speed of 25 KPH is necessary to not slide off the banking and we get up to 60 KPH during normal training.
