On August 8th, the Ladies joined Keiren racing instructor Henry Shibata at the Encino Velodrome for his Keiren School. We had a fun time with bumping and passing drills as we began learning the mechanics & tactics of Keiren Racing. Henry teaches this class every Saturday from 9-11AM and he has welcomed us to join him. This is a fantastic opportunity for the Ladies to learn how to train and race on the track behind a motorcycle. Please plan to join LOTS again on Sept 11th for Henry’s Keiren School from 9-11AM and then stay for the LOTS Session 11-1PM.

The LOTS Keiren School session fee is $5.
The LOTS session fee is $10.

All LOTS Session fees include the use of a Rental Bike.

USAC’s 2009 Junior National Road Championships ~ What a fantastic time we all had in Bend, OR the last week of July!

Sat Oct 10, 9am-4pm ~ Junior Open House at the Encino Velodrome. LOTS is pleased to be coordinating this special event to raise awareness for the Encino Velodrome and the exciting sport of Olympic Style Junior Track Cycling! This exciting day will have something for every Junior and their parents! All attendees will have the opportunity to “Try the Track” in exchange for some fun “Handyman Projects”. We will have Juniors Track Cyclists of all ages assisting with the cleaning up projects as well as mentoring new riders. Kids bring your parents and Parents bring your kids!!

Athletes, families, product sponsors and fans of Track Cycling are invited to contact me for more event information.

Whole Bike Swap Meet ~ In addition to the usual fall bike (parts) swap meet, we will also be having a separate “Whole Bike Swap Meet”! Not your usual boxes of stuff, this Whole Bike Swap Meet will feature complete & ride-able bikes of every type! Sellers will be charged a small non-refundable fee based on the wheel size of each bike(s) you are selling.
Also ~ If you are a 2009 Junior/U23 State or National Track Champion, please contact me asap! We will have a VIP Jr Athlete Panel present throughout the day to meet ‘n greet and mentor the Open House Guests.

LOTS of Sponsors ~ All of us appreciate the roll that financial and equipment sponsors play in the sport of cycling. Without their support, most of what we do would be impossible!!

The LOTS program appreciates the support and sponsorship of the following companies:

The EDge
~ “My goal is to bring high quality carbon composite frame, fork, seat post, wheels, etc, to folks at a reasonable price. No fancy names or middle men. So a referral network will be my approach. I am at my local track every day, anyone that purchases items from me will know exactly where to find me if there were any issues.

Folks can get bargains on all the other components via the net. The name brands are there and easily found. But to get a quality carbon fiber design and for a great price, you cannot be sure on the internet.

One other endeavor I have been working at for 5 years is my website http://www.bicyclingworld.com/. It has become the largest collection of bicycle tours in the World. Pretty cool site. Maybe some of you are interested in a cool bicycle tour.
Ed Hayduk, Owner

For a current price list, please email Ed at eahjr11@gmail.com

Serfas & Serfas Optics ~ For all of your equipment and optical needs, please visit their websites. Headquartered in South Orange County, Serfas is proud to be our neighbor! If any of the LOTS participants would like to purchase items from Serfas, please email me and I will send you the info that you need.

Clif Bar ~ Food matters.We like food. Natural and organic foods aren’t just good for your body; they're good for the planet. Please visit their website for a complete review of all their products. Clif Bar is proud to provide the LOTS participants with their products. Look for them at the races in 2009!

Louis Garneau ~ Known for their Aero Helmets on the road and on the track, Louis Garneau has generously provided LOTS with a supply of Aero Helmets. Please email me for more information or see me at the races!

Please take the time to thank these sponsors for their generosity!
