To start things off, it had rained here in Sunny So Cal for the past few weeks on and off and the ABA was watching the weather. When they arrived in Del Mar, CA on Monday last week, they got right to work and built another great ABA track. Well unfortunately, Tuesday night, the rains came down and really didn't stop until mid day Thursday. This made for a mess and the dirt would never ever dry out but the ABA did the best job they could, working until the wee hours of the night to make the best of it. Friday practice was canceled and there was a lot of sitting around and sight seeing going on Friday, in the hot sun. As the Pros hit the track on Saturday, it was evident that the racing was going to be slow and on the ground, as the mud and ruts kept the action on the ground. even with the slow track, the Pros still got to dazzled the crowd with there power and determination to make the last regular ABA National of the season one to remember.

Lead to this. Jamie Staff 2004 UCI Keirin World Champion!!!
05.28.04 -- Melbourne, Australia, Reported by British Cycling: After Great Britain was given a wild card entry for the Keirin event at the Melbourne World Championships, Jamie Staff took on the best the World had to offer in this event and struck Gold. After winning, Jamie could not believe that he had won the Championship of the event and won himself a rainbow jersey of his own after winning the 2002 Team Sprint title with Craig Maclean and Chris Hoy. Jamie had started the World CHampionship competition by winning his opening heat and in the next round finished third, showing not only world class speed on the bike, but much better tactical awareness. After the final, Jamie was swamped by hugs from team mates and management and the BMX World Champion from 1996 is now having to rethink his desire to retire after the Olympics where he is expected to represent the country in the Keirin. His win also gave Great Britain the option of fielding a second rider in the Olympic Keirin event. Part of the motivating factor in winning the title is that Jamie is sharing a room at the team hotel with Chris Hoy who gold last night in the Kilometre. Seeing Chris's rainbow jersey gave Jamie the determination that after the loss in the Team Sprint where he won bronze, that he would give this his best shot, listening to advice from his GB manager and coach and coming out covered in glory. Way to go Jamie!!! Summer and Spring time mean a lot of racing.
