Sunny Track Action


All the shots from last Sunday's lunchtime races at Nara Keirin...
















Pete's Aldies x Very Good MTB

They call him Bubba.
We shoot a lot of bikes for this blog. Street bikes, race bikes and all the bikes from the different shop visits. None of those however have quite as much character as Pete's everyday workhorse, his  Aldies x Very Good MTB. Otherwise know as Bubba...

Aldies x Very Good MTB.
Rocking a very well loved Brooks...

Carnival At The Track


A carnival atmosphere at Nara Keirin yesterday...


Plenty of games and attractions to keep the punters occupied between the races...




A 200 meter roller sprint challenge...


Which of course F-i-N blasted and took first place...


Out on the track the riders were doing their thing and entertaining the crowds...


Including the most famous two dogs in Nara...



After all the track excitement it was time to take the doggies home...


And then a ride across town for a coffee fix...


With a few photo opportunities on the way...


A perfect way to spend a Sunday, one of a million reasons to #LoveNara. Cheers to F-i-N and AnyoneForSushi. There will be a stack more actual racing photos posted here later in the week.
