Sunday Oct 4 @ 12Noon ~ Women's Team Sprint & Women's Madison (!!!)
I am personally very excited for the first ever USAC National Championship Women's Madison!! It will be an exciting event!!
At the 2008 Elite Track Nationals, I asked USA Cycling if they would consider adding Women's Madison to Elite Natz as a Medal Event. They said yes and here we are today getting ready to watch this awesome event!
The very first LOTS Session was held in Oct 2006 at the LA Velodrome in Carson, CA. Todate, LOTS has introduced and educated over 300 women in the sport of Olympic style track cycling. As LOTS has grown, all of the major US Tracks have slowly but surely begun offering women specific beginner sessions, racing schools, madison clinics and training camps.
And its WORKING!!!
The quality and number of women participating in this year's Track Nationals is the proof! The Women's Points race on Saturday evening had so many entrants that qualifying heats were required for the first time! And today the first ever Women's Elite Natz Madison will be held at Noon!
It is all good, great, wonderful and I am super excited to be a part of this small piece of history! Thank you to everyone who is passionate about women's cycling!! Thank you ladies, coaches, velodrome directors, race directors & sponsors!!
See you all at Noon in Carson, CA
