All the guys at City Grounds have always shown a lot of love and support for the track scene. And judging by the new CG kits inspired by the lines of the velodrome, they definitely aren’t afraid to show it.
These beauties aren’t available just yet but stay tuned at the City Grounds blog to find out when you can get your order in.
Here’s the track program for Sunday. It will be split into two parts:
NJS TRACK SESH PART I ($5) — Group warm-up, motorpaced paceline, Encino-style Flying 200m TT’s.
NJS TRACK SESH PART II ($5) — NJS Keirn Tournament, Non-NJS Keirin tournament, Women’s Keirin Tournament, Riser Bar Chariot Races.
Encino-style Flying 200m TT — A 200-meter solo time trial with a flying start. All riders ride around the top of the track at a slow pace and one by one, each rider takes off from the group for one warm-up lap followed by the 200-meter effort. Make sure to get off the track as soon you’ve finished your effort!
Keirin — An 8-lap race between 4-9 riders. The first 5.5 laps are paced by a motorcycle or bicycle and the last 2.5 laps are all-out sprints. Winners from each heat will advance to the final round.
Chariot Race — A one-lap sprint between 2-4 riders from a standing start. The chariot races on Sunday will be open to bikes with risers, or flat bars ONLY.
These guys really know how to throw a great event which is why I’m super-excited that City Grounds is sponsoring the finale to the Summer Race Series on September 7th.
