brian44 yes i wish there was more i could do. but at 68 y/o, my competition days, are, pretty much over. I was certified last year and made a number of trips from Charleston, staying over at a rancid HoJos down the street. But my rent went waaay up so driving a pickup at 12 mpg and staying over a couple times a month, i just cannot do it now. I just try to spread the word at the LBS. I lived in CHS for four years bf I found out we had a velodrome in SC!
