Grass velodromes are a rare thing. Perhaps one in Europe, one in the US, a few in England and Australia.

If you can find the whole sequence...skills

I have worn this jersey on a few Independence Day rides. Not so much a sense of mindless patriotism, but to avoid being assaulted by bottle rockets. I will not wear it tomorrow.

Boodschappen doen. Tas uit de schoenenwinkel van mijn vriendin Jos Daems. Mol, Belgium. Super cycling fan.

After the protest today, we'll tip some of this while we curse wannabe kings. FDT

In a few weeks our grass velo opens for the summer season. Near Lawrence, Kansas. Since 2009 we've had a program. FYI, Ashton Lambie began his career on this track

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Off for a 75K gravel ride this morning. This is how we did it 'back in the day'. 1993ish. LeMond TSX

“You won the fucking Amstel gold race!” -Puck “What the fuck!” -Mischa 😂😂😂
