Milton Velodrome - Try the Track Update
Those of you wanting to try riding the boards are encouraged to register for a Try the Track session. The sessions at the Milton Velodrome are quite full so getting a dedicated session just for the SRCC
will be difficult. I was out there watching the Canadian Track Championships
the track looks fantastic. The website seems to be in much better shape now so
if you were not able to register in Nov/Dec then try again now and you will
hopefully have some better success. The track will be open to the public the
week of Jan 26 to certified riders. Those of you who want to see the track
there is another event the weekend of Jan 9-11. The Milton International Track
Challenge has races running all weekend. Tickets are 10$ I believe. Click here
