I've seen that one before, and yes, it is an excellent photo! Can't quite recall, but I'm pretty sure this guy was a six-day racer back in the 30's. During the wee hours of the morning when most spectators were sleeping (either in the stands or at home) the racers rode a more - er - leisurely pace...

We didn't get any coverage of the velodrome here at all (no Canadian contenders whatsoever), so I can't wait until this stuff starts to make it's way onto YouTube... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
