Here is also a look into the life of a 6 day mechanic. It seems absolutely ideal to me, and some thing id love to do at some point

Finally here is a picture of Joop Ziljard who has won a rediculous amount of derney races as the pacer, you can kind of see why. Here he is leading Brad Wiggins to a Euro derny champs win, back in the day.
