Experience the exhilaration of fixed gear cycling at the Northeast Velodrome's Track Clinic. Designed for beginners, this clinic equips participants with essential skills needed to navigate and race on the velodrome. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist looking to switch gears or new to track riding, join us to master your craft.
During the session, learn how to ride fixed gear without relying on brakes, control speed through pedaling techniques, and maintain smooth, predictable movements around the track. Our instructors will guide you through understanding the unique layout of the velodrome, including lane terminology and banking dynamics. Mastering these elements is crucial for safe and efficient riding.
Group riding fundamentals and communication skills are also key focuses. You'll practice riding closely with others in a controlled environment, mastering paceline basics such as rotating, pulling, and rejoining smoothly. This will prepare you for the nuances of track racing, including an introduction to race concepts and rules specific to velodrome events.
All necessary equipment is provided; simply bring your own pedals and cycling shoes if renting a bike from us. A helmet is mandatory. For optimal fit, please provide your frame size and saddle height (measured from center of bottom bracket to top of saddle) in advance so we can adjust the bikes accordingly.
The cost for this clinic is $30 with a field limit of 8 riders ensuring personalized attention. Upon successful completion, you'll be certified to participate in other Northeast Velodrome sessions and events, opening doors to further development as a track cyclist.
