Velodrome Day – February Sunday 28th, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

posted in: Events, Race report | 0

The Team will be hosting another day at the Velodrome, with the emphasis on providing a comfortable environmment for novices or riders of little velodrome experience.

The event will be mentored by Richard Brockie, our very own qualified velodrome mentor. Richard has been a co mentor for the Saturday morning novice sessions for some years now.

There are track specific bicycles available for rent. All you need to bring is your shoes, helmet AND PEDALS. There will be a small fee for the track rental ($5) and a fee for entry to Helyer County Park ($6), where the velodrome is located. The park is in south San Jose, just off Highway-101. From Niles it will take about 30 minutes to get there,if the traffic is flowing.

I encourage all members who have never experienced the velodrome to give it a try. If you like it, you can attend the Saturday morning training sessions to accrue more experience and qualify to be able to enter the Wednesday evening track races.
