Saturday Morning Beginner
Training Sessions
Just a reminder
about the Saturday Morning Beginner
Session. The purpose of the Saturday
morning sessions is to teach
the basics of track riding. It
is not a racing session or a
serious training session. However,
a minimal amount of fitness is
necessary to complete some of
the drills.
Gates
open at 8:30 AM. Everyone must
sign in for the session and
pay track and rental bike fees,
and complete the waiver if
it's your first time at the
track. Be there at 8:30 AM for
best rental bike selection. The
session will begin at 9:00 AM.
No rentals after 9:00 AM. No
one is allowed to ride until
the session supervisor approves.
All participants must be present
at the beginning of the session.
Sunday Morning Intermediate/Advanced
Training Sessions
Please
note that Sunday morning intermediate/advanced
sessions are not open sessions.
You must have prior approval
from the supervisor in charge
(see calendar for contact information).
If you show up without prior
approval, you most likely will
not get to ride. Also, Sunday
mornings are not "open track".
You should have a defined workout
to do. The supervisor will send
you the Intermediate/Advanced
Etiquette info packet that should
be reviewed upon approval. This
protocol is for safety reasons.
Thank you.
