Track Cycling Inquiries

I've always wondered about track cycling, what each event really was, why the events were named as such, and what exactly is a six day race? Well I came across an article on CyclingNews.com (see Pages I Often Visit) that explains the six day races in track cycling at a level at which someone like myself can understand. Within that article you can find a link that will take you to another article that explains a little more about each of the various events in track cycling.
