Weather ALERT! For Trackfest 2
It looks like we have rain in the forecast for Sunday. Just our luck.

Due to this, we have rearranged the schedule. Moving the Individual Pursuits to Friday night; flying 200 and sprints to Saturday afternoon.
Now that I have said this, the rain will not show...

For Friday Night club racing this season, we will rotate between bunch races, timed events, sprints, and even Madison to give riders opportunities to try all the different races and/or work on their target disciplines.

This Friday, May 17th, we will be doing F200 + Sprints. Track opens at 6pm, flying 200m will begin at 620pm-7pm. Riders may (and encouraged to) get more than one F200 time as practice, try out different gears and/or approach to the 200m TT. Then 7-8pm we shall do match sprints based on the F200 times in 4-rider brackets or in pairs running best 2 of 3.

Thank you to everyone that came out to our season opening race, Track Challenge! Couldn't have asked for better weather for the rescheduled event. Great turn out and some fast times to start the season, you must have high ambitions!
Results are still being tabulated, we are still looking for a secretary to help with our results for races, so if you know anyone that wants to help with our future races please let us know :)
