The Madison

The Madison is possibly the wildest race at the track. In it, teams of two riders compete against each other in a tag team format. One rider is sprinting as hard as he can, and when he passes his teammate, he uses his momentum to slingshot his partner into the race.

Racing at the Velodrome

There are three days of racing at the Marymoor Velodrome this weekend as part of the Marymoor Velodrome Challenge. Come on down and check it out!

Temporary Solution

Well, I’ve found a temporary solution to my problems...I’m uploading images via FrontPage, then hand typing in the image code. It’s not elegant and it limits where I can post images from. At least it will allow me to keep posting until I get the problem solved, though.

About the picture: Our group in Banff passed this waterfall on our way down valley on the second day of hiking. This is the first time I’ve successfully captured blurred water. I think I was able to do it because it was an overcast, rainy day.

Having Problems

Well folks, as you can see, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Part of the problem has to do with the Tour de France. (Yes, the Tour!) Getting up to watch 2-3 hours of television every day definitely eats into time which could be spent taking pictures and posting things on the site. Rest assured, it will get better when the tour is over in a few days.

I’m also having trouble uploading images. Movable Type all of a sudden went haywire on me and I’m trying to figure out what the deal is. If you have any expertise with MT or know somebody who does, please let me know!

Food at the Bobbie Burns

More on our heli-hiking experience: Food at the Bobbie Burns was phenomenal - tasty and beautifully presented. Even with all the hiking we did during the day, it was easy to develop the well-known “heli-belly.”

Looking at the dinner menu on the second day, we weren’t sure what “Sexy Swans” were. Needless to say we had a little fun with the cute cream puffs when they arrived on the table.
