This was my first visit to the Alpenrose Velodrome in Portland, Oregon.  

What an awesome group of people at the track.  Everyone is so welcoming and helpful.  

Alpenrose is a 268.43M (1/6 mile) track with a 43 degree banking.  It's a fun track with it's share of "quirks".  It will take more than a single visit to get used to it.

On my first attempt at a flying 200, my rear wheel went airborne a few inches going into turn 1 getting what was probably my worst time in a while.

On the match sprints my front wheel went airborne from over compensating the rear.  

The next couple races seemed to go a bit smoother.

Friday nights are "Fast Twitch Friday's" where the hold match sprints and keirins.  How awesome is that?  I wish I could make it down here every weekend.
