Alpenrose Velodrome (Again)
My dad and I went to Alpenrose Velodrome again yesterday. Unlike last week, where I just tipped over in the grass, this time I wiped out on the corner, taking out four other people (including my dad). We were doing a mock race, and on the first lap, my foot came out of the pedal (the fact that my cleat had come loose was at least part of the cause). Unfortunately, it happened right before the curve, and so I wasn’t going fast enough to stay on. I tried to slide off the track, but somebody happened to be passing on that side, causing the Pileup.
I bruised and scraped my hip, but other than that, everything’s fine.
Update: This picture has a striking resemblance to what happened…

Glad your ok, but I heard your bared from the track now.
