After numerous rainy days and scheduling conflicts, the stars aligned perfectly and the B.V.V.W. was able to hold it's First Annual "Kissena Velodrome Vintage Track Iron Round-Up" this past Sunday. Under sunny skies and with temperatures in the upper-50's, 10 of us gathered to bum around in Kissena Park. Many thanks to all attendees, especially Jamie Swan who was a wonderful ambassador and had plenty of great stories about Kissena's rich history. He even brought (along with the wine) an original set of plans/blueprints of the track itself! Our own Leonard Diamond made sure the event was well documented and has shared his pictures here:

Considering that "Velodrome" is a part of the BVVW's name, we fully intend to make this a regular event...Please join us next time!
