tRoPpMaNn-On A wIrE

I went to the season ender for Thursday’s at the Major Taylor Velodrome and had a blast. Lara tagged along and Matt from Turin was there. It was a good time racing after three weeks off. Felt good and would be doing the two day event this weekend had I planned ahead better. And the final count is, racing with the CAT4s as a CAT3:

Race 58, 25.03 flying lap.
Race 59 no place, scratch race, bars came loose at the beginning had a rough start.
Race 60, 3rd place, points race.
Race 61, 6th, Miss n’ Out
Race 62, 6th place, points race.

And for my 2009 track season, fin.

“Donald C. Vanderbrook, 50, of Yorkville, who suffered a serious head injury Tuesday while racing at the Washington Park velodrome, has died, a spokeswoman at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa said.

Vanderbrook was racing in close quarters with other cyclists when the crash occurred.”
