Our first trip to Forest City Velodrome, November 1-3 was a lot of fun! We received a great welcome from the FCV members, and got in a full weekend of varied riding.
Our second trip is coming up Friday Nov 30th to Sunday Dec 2nd. Registration is open! Just send an email to Bill Bourne bi...@bashd.ca
Forest City Velodrome (FCV) is the perfect track to get introduced to track cycling as well as to develop your track riding skills. Our long-weekend trips to FCV are by far the best way to get significant track experience in a compressed time frame at very low cost.
All ages, from 11 to well, "even older than me" are welcome. New track riders are especially welcome. Riders should have good basic riding skills, and be able to ride 30KPH for 15-20 minutes at a time. Touring 2 adult riders and T2Ts in the Youth Program will do just fine.
We’ll make sure all riders have a program that addresses their goals.
The cost is $125 per rider for the 3 days, including track bike rental. Hotel cost is about $120 per room per night (so $60 a night if you share a room). And you are responsible for your own food. I'll be booking the OBC Van, which can take 8 people.

The exact schedule is TBD, but you can expect something like:
