Trek to Track

It was my last day with Gracie, so I took her on another long walk.

We met-up with Jeff and Fatty at Deep Cove and hiked Quarry Rock!

Another beautiful day.

Gracie has certainly become one of my favourite dogs.

Recently, I heard her fart which made me love her even more!  LOL!

She was spent after this hike.

"Bye-bye Puss Puss."

In the evening, I went to the Burnaby Velodrome with Kenji, Brenda, and Dave.

We signed-up for the Intro to Track Program.

It's half-price in the Summer, so for $75 you get a 90 minute orientation, 4 novice sessions at a later date, and a rental bike for all your sessions!

Here's my rental.

You're welcome to bring your own helmet and pedals, if you like.

This is Rachel, our instructor for the day!  I found the intro session very informative and worth taking.

You have to maintain a speed of 30 km to successfully take these corners.  ;-)

At first when you look at the track it's a little daunting, but after a few laps you get used to it.  Always remember to shoulder check!  ;-)

Thanks for the guidance Rachel!!!  :-)

Holy smokes!  I just found out Dave is good friends with crazy rider Danny MacAskill!

Here's a video if you don't remember Dan.  ;-)
