The worst idea I have ever had

39.2km.

It was painful, it was hot and it was a little bit windy. But overall the conditions were pretty favorable. Last Sunday would have been a better day for an attempt but I can't complain about 80 degrees, clear sky and fairly mild wind (for Kissena).

My goal was to break 40km and I came pretty damn close. Had I done this on a better velodrome (read: not bumpy or windy) I probably would have and that's good enough for me.

Already there are some pictures:

Congradulations! And thank those whom took the pics! Maybe this will inspire others. Anyone up in the T-town area giving it a try?
