In Nuremberg (Reichelsdorf) there is a traditional cycling track. Unfortunately, I have to say, I only managed to take part in a race like this for the first time yesterday. A really cool event.
It all started with the juniors, then with a track bike race, the final of the Cycling Shower Cup. The whole time the race is driven to the limit and every couple of laps points or cash bonuses are awarded in a sprint, which makes for an exciting race. Due to the high speed of 45-55km / h, a fair amount of distance is covered in half an hour. The track bikes have one characteristic here, namely there is only one gear and no brake. This means that you have to pedal constantly, there is no idling, as is the case with conventional racing bikes.
The grand finale is then the standing race over a little more than 30km. With the help of motorbikes (sticks), the athletes sweep the slopes at 80 km / h. Don't ask me which gear the wheels had installed, it looked huge !!
Every driver has his own pacemaker behind which he contests the race. It is extremely important that both are a well-coordinated team. The smallest driving mistake can have serious consequences. If, for example, a driver falls out of the slipstream, it is faster than you can count to 3.
I just got an idea for my transitional and winter training ... soon krelli in danger on the track! 🙂
skin in!

As is certainly 63 (!) Up front, yes, there really is. What is on the back depends on it, but min. 13 or smaller. Once someone told me inside the 6 day race in Stuttgart.
This means that 200 runes can be around pretty quickly on the wooden track!
