There are
many opportunities for training time on the track for the beginner
and experienced racer.
Track Day Clinics - Beginner/Intermediate
Track Day clinics occur a couple of times a month
and are organized by Mitch Friedman of the South
Bay Wheelmen.
These clinics focus on teaching
track skills and introducing riders to different race formats.
The clinic welcomes anyone who wants to learn track riding and
spend
a great, fun day on a bike. The
$10 fee covers the clinic plus $5 bike rental. The start time is 9:00am. All proceeds go to the Encino
Velodrome. Visit the track
schedule for the date of the next clinic.
Beginner and Intermediate Clinics
Board Member Ken Avchen also offers clinics for beginners
and intermediate track riders. These clinics are geared to newcomers
or people who have not ridden track recently. Come out for a fun,
non-competitive day with emphasis on safety and learning track skills.
Bring your helmet
and other cycling gear. Visit the track schedule for the date of
the next clinic.
Women's Clinic
Each year a women's clinic is offered. Katie Safford shares her experience and knowledge
of track racing to encourage women to give the track a try. Katie's
goal is to get as many women racing the banked oval as possible,
because, as she says, "it is more fun than humans should
have!"
What a great opportunity for women to learn to ride the track.
This clinic focuses on those who have never ridden on the track
and teaches the skills needed to ride the fixed gear bikes and
ride the track. Learn the basics of pacelines, rules and etiquette.
Visit the track schedule for the date of the next clinic.
