Burnaby 4 Day

Last week Morgan re-capped the fun some of the Mighty kids have been getting up to in the snow/dirt on the mountains. They also like to get out of the winter weather and into the Burnaby Velodrome for some fast, dry training/racing.

Over the Holidays the BVC hosted a 4 Day Track Race that attracted world calibre athletes including 2 time Track World Champion Sarah Hammer, Omnium/Points Race World Champion Tara Whitten, Worlds Track Silver Medalist Zach Bell, road sprinter extraordinaire Tyler Farrar (who grew up racing Friday Nights at Burnaby), Canadian ProTour riders Svein Tuft and Christian Meier as well as a handful of International athletes.

It was the fastest racing Burnaby has ever seen and the beer was flowing with large crowds. For full results with some video see HERE.

Below are a selection of pics by Ryan (more) and Ted (more) of some of the racing.

And could it be? Is that B looking a little heavier and laying the law down in his Cycling BC Commissaire jacket? Please, don't fine me you evil fascist.
