We have posted some tentative changes/updates to the 2009 schedule here and on the Track schedule page.  Your feed back is appreciated.

2009 Velodrome Racing Schedule   (Tentative)

We have 12 USAC sanctioned events scheduled for 2009, including a 2 day weekend NE Regional Track Championships event.

We are looking to offer a Madison Clinic in May that will kicking off our USAC sanctioned 4 race Madison series.  We will also be having a USAC sanctioned 3 race Kieren series, and the USAC 3 race omnium series.

We are adding an advanced junior track program one hour before racing on Tuesday nights.  We are also adding new racing categories to both nights, "beginner juniors and women" will race on Tuesdays along with
the "C" and "D", and "Elite Masters" will race on Wednesdays along with the "A" and "B".  Elite/advanced women on Wednesday night.  Women also have the option to race in the men’s field.

On Saturdays we will continue with our weekend race series including the Summer sprint series.  Events will be USAC sanctioned.

All riders will now have the opportunity to upgrade their track category, we will be requiring all riders who wish to race on Wednesday in either "A", "B" or "Elite Masters" categories to send in a track resume or if
they are a cat 2 on the road send in a copy of their USAC license to tony@nevelodrome.com to receive their cat 3 track upgrade.

D = cat 5
C = cat 4/5
B = cat 3/4
A = cat 1/2/3
Junior/Women = cat 5 men, cat 4 women.
Elite Masters = cat 1/2/3/4

We are also putting together a 9 mile road time trial course that will run at 6:30PM on Thursday nights.  It will begin from a starting ramp in the track parking lot and will roll along nicely paved flat/rolling loop on a few roads around the cycling park.

With the weather getting warmer, we are thinking about clearing off the track in the next week or so.  Is there interest in having the track cleared and ready to ride by March 1st?  Any thoughts on training times or other thoughts regarding what should happen before the season begins?  We are here for you so let us know what you think.  Thanks!

There has been some interest in modifying our cyclo-cross course to allow for short track mountain bike racing.  Does anyone have any information on short track mountain bike racing?  What type of changes would we have to make? Also when would be the best time to run a short track series?  We also want to know if anyone is interested in helping us to get this going.  Looking for input from anyone interested.  Thanks Tony

Is there an interest for us to hold early season (March/April)  weekly motor pacing  sessions on either road or track bikes?  Also several people have expressed interest in a Spring short track mountain bike series.  Just looking for feedback from anyone interested.

We are presently putting together a cycling kit for the 2009 season.  We are also thinking about starting a  track team so we can have a stronger presence at other tracks.  Any thoughts?

The Saturday velodrome racing program and the Wednesday night cyclo-cross series have now officially ended for the season.  The track is still available to be opened per request until it snows and there are a few Sunday cyclo-cross training races left to go.   Is there any interest in having Sunday cyclocross training races until Nationals?  Also, our staff is now preparing for the up coming seasons and we are interested in what ideas you have concerning our facility, the programs and our racing schedules.  Please give us your thoughts.   Thanks to everyone who made this a very successful season.
