Track Cycling feature, Cyclo magazine

Possibly the only benefit of the ceaseless rain we've experienced since the beginning of the year is that I've started to tidy my office. One of the discoveries in the archaeological strata of paper perched on top of my now nonfunctioning office printer was this issue of a Chilean magazine called Cyclo. They published some of the images from my time documenting the Full Gas track cycling winter series in their launch issue.

It seems Cyclo magazine, sadly, is no more. I don't know how many issues there were; there's little evidence of it online so maybe not many.

The Full Gas track racing takes place at the Lee Valley Velodrome, home to the 2012 London Olympics. It's an impressive building, standing in the centre of the track with the cyclists thundering around at high speed is an incredible experience and something I'd like to get back to at some time.

Thanks to Full Gas Cycling and the cyclists themselves who were so generous with their time.
