PMVC Track Night

More Fixed Gear action with single speed regulars Steve Brewer and  Henry Dimmick being joined for the first time this season by teammate Kirk Morrison. 

Hannah Brewer was again on hand to help Oscar run the show!

But before the fixie action got underway, Steve Brewer took on the standing start 200m Track Record.  His first attempt was cut short when he came out of his pedal early on (so we now know Steve is at least 16 newton-meters strong!)  His second attempt, a full run, was negated due to a timing clock error. 

It was on his third attempt he officially set a new track record... giving Ag3r the first FIVE (5) Track Records at the Bud Harris Oval in Pittsburgh Pa!!!
