    This is a track riding and racing clinic for riders who are not familiar with riding a fixed gear or riding on a velodrome. Track racing has some peculiarities that make it a little different from road riding or racing. This clinic will give you the knowledge and experience necessary to begin track riding at the Northeast Velodrome.

    The course consists of 3 sets of skills:

    • Riding a fixed gear

    • Getting started and stopping on a fixed gear bike

    • Spinning and controlling your speed with your pedals instead of brakes

    • Practice riding close to another rider

    • Learning to hold a line while continuing to pedal through

    • Track riding conventions and etiquette

    • Learning how it feels to use the banking and the turns

    • The terminology of the track lanes

    • How to move and communicate with the other riders on the track

    • Paceline and racing skills

    • Learning how to use the turns and the banking of the track to form and hold a pace line

    • Taking a turn on the front and then moving out and up and back to take a place at the back

    • Learning race rules for various track events

    At the end you will have the knowledge and some experience of track riding. You will understand how riding a fixed gear on a track differs from road or mountain riding with a freewheel and brakes.

    The course fee includes rental of a track bike if needed. If you are renting you need to bring pedals and shoes. A helmet is required. Please indicate your frame size, and if you know it your saddle height, measured from the center of the crank axle to the top of the saddle. This is not required but will aid in preparing the bike and speeding the sizing process.

    Price: $30 - Field limit of 8. Rental is included. Successful completion of this course certifies you to ride any other events at the Northeast Velodrome.
