Bikes are strictly forbidden at Mid-Ohio. In a moment of inspiration
(stupidity?) I entered the track during Triumph Touring on Saturday,
zipping by security.
I rode "New Blue Too", a Triumph bicycle, across the start finish line and
re-entered the paddock through the garage area. I am looking for someone
who got a shot of this moment of insanity by camera or video.

Bridget and I got to the track a little late that morning too.
We missed getting in the parade by about 10 minutes.
I suppose we could have snuck in without too much trouble.
In any event . . . we walked up to the huge deck that runs along the garage
area and overlooks the pits and the start finish line.
I think watching the parade was probably a lot more fun than driving in it.. .
. if you can call it driving. It looked like idling in first gear around the
track it was probably too fast for the procession.
I did see the Triumph bicycle in the parade . . sorry to say I didn't get a
picture though. I had wondered if it had gone around the entire lap. Although
it certainly was do able speedwise . . . the driver looked a little too
enthusiastic crossing the finish line to have actually pedaled all the way
around the track. Waving frantically and pointing at the bike yelling "It's a
Triumph!"
What I want to know is why was there a new Mini and a Superformance roadster
mixed in with all the other Triumphs in the parade lap.
There were still plenty of cars available to hitch a ride in . . . they didn't
have to ruin it by taking non-triumphs out there.
