2009 has been another successful year for LOTS. We fulfilled our goals to provide progressive rider education to Ladies who were previously certified and were ready to begin racing.

LOTS monthly “New Rider Certification Classes” enabled many women to experience the thrills of track cycling for the first time. These 2hr small group classes are designed to give us the opportunity to provide quality coaching to new and experienced riders. Together we learn pace line dynamics, Standing Start techniques, and general pack skills.

LOTS quarterly “Ladies Only Track School” sessions have also been hugely successful this year. These half day advanced sessions have given all of the participants the skills and confidence they need to participate in open training sessions and to begin racing. We discussed USAC’s rule book with respect to most Track Races, we learned about race tactics and rules for both individual and mass start races. Each LOTS Track School covered a different selection of racing skills and disciplines. We are excited to the new faces in the peleton in the 2010 racing season!

2010 LOTS ~ Whether you have 2 hrs of track experience or 2 decades of track experience, please bring a friends and join us on the velodrome for the final LOTS Session on this year on Sat Dec 5th and on Sat Jan 9th for the first LOTS Session of our 4th year as we continue to help each other develop these essential bike riding skills!

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:

Itty Bitty Bra Co. ~ Holiday Sale 2009, save up to 40% on selected items during our Holiday Blow Out Sale. Quantities are limited so shop now for best selection! Itty Bitty Bra’s are the right choice for those of us whom nature 'blessed' with less than a 'C' cup size bust and are underserved by today's bra choices. According to Jane Alden Hodgdon, IBB Designs president and CEO, these women need a bra that not only provides support, but also is stylish and comfortable. The Itty Bitty Bra® does all of that and more for the AA-B cup women.

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!
