Encino Velodrome ~

Sat May 8th (11-2) LOTS Session

Only the Ladies are invited to bring a friend and join us for the next LOTS Session at the Encino Velodrome! Whether you are new to track cycling or you are a long time track veteran, bring a friend, a sense of humor and join us in May.

Ladies who are new to the track are invited to participate in the "New Rider Certification Class". We always have a great time sharing the love of Olympic style track cycling as we learn the rules and the ettiquette.

New Rider Cert Class fee => $30
Returning Riders fee => $10

Each month the LOTS Session offers a “New Rider Certification Class”. Our classes have introduced literally hundreds women to the thrills of track cycling.

These small group intro classes are designed to give LOTS the opportunity to provide quality 1-1 coaching to riders who are new to the Track. For 2010 the monthly LOTS Sessions will be offering our Ladies Only “New Rider Cert Classes” for a discounted fee of $30. Once you are certified you are invited to participate in any of the LOTS Sessions as well as the Keiren & Racing School Sessions held at the Encino Velodrome. Certified riders are also welcomed to participate in all of the daily/weekly Co-ed Open Training Sessions held at the Encino Velodrome.

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