First time to the Velodrome

[jorgemonkey]

Well, first time with a camera. First time I ever went to the Velodrome was when I was a little kid for a scout activity. I got a saturday off work and went back to shoot a race that was going on down there. I plan on going more often since its literally only 1.5 miles by bike to the track from my apartment.

Here is a few of my favorites from the day. Next time I hope to get access to the infield. I probably could have gotten down there anyway, but didn't want to get in trouble and perhaps mess up a chance to shoot for one of the teams in the future

I didn't get to stay too long due to other commitments, but here is one from the Women's category
