Jim at the races

I've come across a picture from last year in my archives of Jim on his brand new Fuji Bike from Rotten Robbies Cycle Sports in Crawfordsville, IN.
Jim is shown here racing at the Indianapolis Velodrome.

Peddle faster!

Jim prepares for a race

Jim is preparing to race at the Major Taylor Velodrome tonight for the 2nd time. He is a stickler for details and you can tell by the way he cares for his bike and equipment. I'll get a chance to use my new Nikon D-60 that I got at Robert's Camera shop in Carmel. This will be my first opportunity to take some live action shots and I'm anxious to try out a few different settings with ISO and F-stops just to see the results. So, barring any thunderstorms prior to 7PM we'll be there racing!

Fixed Gear Bike Racing

Jim had to build his bike to race at the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indianapolis. Jim actually has a fixed gear bike of his own that he built, but the pedals and gears are too low on the frame for the velodrome track angle. He ad reserved a bike last week, but apparently, the staff had given his and another one the same size away already.... So Jim was stuck 'creating' his own bike for the race in less than 10 minutes. Thank goodness he brought his own tools.
