They close it a few weekends every summer for "ActiveTO". It's one of the major arteries that leads to the downtown core otherwise (Lakeshore W). Our condo building is right on it.

Nice evening ride after doing 47 errands today
 
Had a blast at the track 🥳 I'm going back next weekend to start the "track certification" process. Four 90-min sessions in total to get certified.

They built a world-class velodrome literally in the middle of fokkin nowhere.

How come these things are always indoors?

Is the track really sensitive to the elements?
 
We need vids matt !!
Next weekend. Wife and JL will be in the stands.

Hmmm. The track is made up of small wood planks, so yeah I suppose it needs a controlled environment so it won't warp?

I got an intermittent GPS lock on Strava. #lol

Oh shit, looks like it's all wood underneath as well:
 
you actually do still look a little chunky for a pro bicyclist. :clap:
 
lol, I've been telling y'alls I was still soft around the midsection even at 190. I look fit around 175.

Need to lose the rest of the belly to keep up with the young whippersnappers. I was the second slowest of the fast group, but the fastest old guy.

Day 2 of the certification at 10am today. Lesgooooooooo
 
Dug my bike out this morning,probably had it 10 years and rode it a couple dozen times.Gonna start using it more,maybe riding to the tennis courts and into town when I run errands
