VCC January 7 Update

Welcome to 2026!

Track sessions resume this week and will run every Wednesday at 8:00 PM. Please show up at least 30 minutes prior to the session start in order get your bike set up and be ready for the coach briefing about 10 minutes before the hour.

To ride, you must:

  1. Register for the session, and
  2. Be a 2026 VCC member (Full or Second-Claim)

Starting January 30, the entire CPSRC facility opens to the public. This means everyone will enter through the front desk and turnstiles.

We are finalizing how the front desk will verify that you’re registered (likely through Activity Messenger), so session registration will become mandatory. Once this is active, I will not be able to add riders at the door.

Register here:

2026 Membership Link is LIVE

Two Weeks of Open Track
The January 14 and 21 sessions will run as Open Track while Coach Kevin is away.

Open Track is a core skill every track rider should develop. Track Monitors will provide general direction, but these are not coached sessions.

Open Track Etiquette & Safety

After the initial ~10-minute warm-up:

  • Tempo riding: Blue stayers line
  • Hard efforts: Sprinters lane only
  • Red → Blue zone: Transition area only — do not ride there
  • Recovery:
    • Preferably on the apron
    • If necessary, up on the blue, staying predictable
  • Pace: Riders self-select appropriate groups
  • Passing rule:
    Always shoulder-check and call “STICK!” before overtaking up-track and over the right

This structure keeps everyone safe, smooth, and fast.

Sunday May 31: Ride cancelled due to rain and high winds.
