Mon May 25th ~ Ladies Only Track School 12-4PM at Encino ~ Last year LOTS conducted a survey via “Survey Monkey”. Everyone who responded to the survey clearly indicated that there is a definite need for (more) Racing Schools. So Ladies, Please join us at the Encino Velodrome Memorial Day Weekend for the Far West Championships Race Omnium on Saturday & Sunday and then stay over for the LOTS Track School on Monday. This Ladies Only Track School is geared for experienced track riders who have previously attended one or more LOTS Sessions and are already certified to ride the track. Participants should come early and be prepared for an action packed 4 hours of Track School designed to prepare you for track racing!
The fee for LOTS Track School is $50. We will have expert riders and licensed track coaches to provide the instructions. Attendees will appreciate the hand's on approach to learning Paceline dynamics, Sprint & Mass Start Events as well as Motor Pacing Techniques. LOTS and our Sponsors will provide food and beverages.

Please email Julia@crossins.com for complete event information and registration forms.

LOTS will be hosting a New Rider Certification Class from 9-11AM on the same day. The Certification Fee is always $10 and it may be prepaid with your rsvp for your convenience. Please email your RSVP to me!

Mondays Nights ~ The Encino Velodrome hosts Madison training on Monday Nights year round. The Madison Session fee is $5. So grab your partner and join the fun! Get a great workout and practice your Madison skills. All participants must be Track Certified. Racing license not required.
