Track Cycling June 2nd
OBC Webmaster
The first OBC summer track cycling trip to the Bromont velodrome is scheduled for Saturday June 2nd. http://centrenationalbromont.com/caracteristiques-du-velodrome
This trip is open to *all* OBC members, both youth and adults.
Track cycling is one of the best ways to develop a number of important cycling skills that transfer to road cycling - bike handling, agility, group riding, It's also a blast... incredibly fun!
If you have never ridden a velodrome before, these sessions are a great way to get introduced to the joys of track cycling. Experienced track cyclists will also get a lot out of this trip. There will be a range of exercises and riding customized to the specific people that attend. We'll accommodate all fitness levels and interests, and there will be opportunities to "crank it up" if you want.
To attend these sessions, you need to be:
- Age 11 or older
- Youth should be at the equivalent of L2T or T2T from the OBC Youth Development program.
- Adults should be an experienced road rider … Touring 2 level and up.
You don’t need any fixed gear riding experience. Training for brand new track riders will be included in the program.
You don't need a track bike, the Centre National has bikes available.
We are still finalizing costs, but expect them to be:
- $15 for experienced riders with their own track bike
- $30 for experienced riders who are renting a bike
- $45 for new riders … this covers a 2-hour initiation session from a Bromont coach, the track bike rental, and access to the track for the day
Transportation will be by the OBC van, and by carpooling.
Registration is simple - just send Bill Bourne an email at bi...@bashd.ca You can also email Bill with any questions you have.
See you at the track!
