Fixed Gear "Track Omnium"

Story by Oscar Swan:
--------------------------
A beautiful night for track racing brought out some old and new participants, and made everyone wonder why a whole lot more riders didn’t turn out. I think people don’t realize what a decent track venue the Washington Blvd. bicycle oval actually is, but no one complained about not getting a good workout.

Henry Dimmick turned out to defend his 2003 flying start record of 13.07. He turned in a respectable 13.70, switching around the 0 and 7, which for all I know amounts to a twitch in my thumb on the stopwatch. In any case Mike Quigley turned in a 13.56, but still leaving (Henry's) more than 10-year-old record in place!
