INTRO TO TRACK RACING: SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY

I’m bringing back Encino Velodrome’s six-week Intro To Racing course next week. This class is for riders (who are already certified to ride the track) who want to learn learn the rules and strategies to all the different track racing events. It’s also great for experienced racers who want to polish and practice their racing skills as the 2013 season gets under way.

The sessions are every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm and we’ll be focussing on a different race each week. It’s $10 per session or $50 pre-paid for the full six-week course. Find the rest of the details HERE.

INTRO TO TRACK RACING BEGINS MARCH 6th

The popular six-week class returns to Encino Velodrome in one month. This course will be six Wednesday night sessions from March 6th to April 10th and taught by yours truly. If you’re interested in getting into track racing, check it out.

The program is perfect for novice track riders who wish to learn the rules of different track events as well as experienced racers who want to stay in top form. Each night we’ll focus on a different event or discipline. First we learn the rules and strategies of the race and then riders get on the track and give it a go. Encino Velodrome has one of most welcoming atmospheres in the track scene so if you are stoked on racing but a little bit intimidated to hit the banks, this is the place to come. A lot of advanced riders also attend the Wednesday night sessions to get some practice and sharpen their strategies and they always have good tips to share with the noobs.

Speaking of noobs, if you haven’t ridden on the track before, you MUST complete the Encino Velodrome Beginner’s Class prior to taking this course. The next class is on Saturday February 23rd at noon. This will get you certified to ride the track so do it!
