The Northeast Velodrome will be hosting a clinic for riders who have never ridden on the velodrome and would like to partake in track racing. Open to all riders; $30 entry fee. Clinic will be limited to 10 total participants. Registration is available here: https://www.bikereg.com/sunday7.
Riders will take part in a 60-90 minute clinic and learn the basics of riding and racing on the track. After completion of the clinic, there will be a racing program that participants will be able to utilize their new-found skills in a low-key, fun environment; where the emphasis will be on participation and learning how to race.

No problem; we have a limited amount of rental bicycles available to use; contact us after registering to let us know what size frame you need and we will do our best to accommodate your sizing needs.
