waiver (legible and with complete information
please), you do not need to complete
it again.
• Beginner/Intermediate Training
Sessions
Every Saturday in January 1:00 PM to
4:00 PM.
These sessions are for riders who have
completed at least three (3) Hellyer
Saturday morning Beginner Sessions.
Each session will focus on introducing
riders to track workout sessions and
track racing. Geared towards beginner
and novice riders, but more experienced
riders may ride to mentor and get track
time.
What to bring: helmet, cycling shoes, pedals, pedal wrench, warm clothing, a snack, water, sunscreen. You will be required to fill out NCVA and Santa Clara Park County participation forms. If you have a track bike bring that also!
$5 to ride, $5 to rent a bike + $6

enter the track respectfully if arriving
late. Rain or wet track cancels. Questions
or more information please contact
the track supervisor: Steve Jones stevejones@stanford.edu
• 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.
