Saturday October 13th ~ Training Races Return to ADT!! For everyone who has been missing this exciting addition to your training program….IT’S BACK!!!! A group of enthusiastic folks have gotten together and resurrected the Saturday Afternoon Training Races at ADT. With a new look, a new crew and an entirely new format we are excited to invite all the Ladies to join us.

You will learn all the In's & Out's of each track racing discipline as we teach you the rules, the techniques and the equipment requirements that you will need to compete in Time Trials, Sprints, Mass Start races, Team Events and more giving you the confidence you need to toe the line in almost any racing situation.

You will need to bring your current racing license along with your own track bike, helmet, shoes, pedals and any additional equipment that you may need. Rental bikes will be available for Juniors only (at no charge).

All participants must be certified by the velodrome director, Roger Young prior to the first session. If you have attended one or more LOTS then you are considered to be certified.

There will be a Ladies Only Track Session (LOTS) at the LA Velodrome on Saturday October 13th from 12-2pm. Anyone attending that session (with their own bike!) is invited to stay for the first Race Training Session immediately following.

Once all the remaining details have been finalized, including Dates and fees, I will forward that info to you all.

Class size is limited. Pre-Registration is Required and will begin once the details have been finalized.
