Pre-hydrate for these hot days of riding! And to ward-off some unexpected muscle cramps, don’t worry about the sodium content of your meals these days. Consider adding about 1/8th teaspoon of salt to your water bottles for a little extra insurance. If you’ve already got some flavoured drink mix in there, you won’t even notice the subtle salty hit.

If the work proceeds as planned, the velodrome should re-open to regular programming on Monday, July 27.
In the meantime, you can go register for our next session on July 29th:
