Pista Elite Track Bike Racing

Pista is organizing the inaugural series of Track Racing and Training will begin May 2008. Sponsored by Fast Track Cycling, the first session will be 8 weeks on Thursday evenings, with a state level championship.

Racers can look forward to several race formats, primes, and weekly payouts. For cyclists new to the fixed-gear sport, training and coaching will be available. Costs will be similar to the Westlake Crit Series. Junior Cycling Development will be sponsored by Pista Elite. For youth under 18, there are no club dues- coaching, clothing, and equipment are provided.


Until the Velodrome track is constructed, it will be hosted at the Lorain Cou
nty Speedway (about 1/2 hour west of Cleveland) www.lorainspeedway.com Other successful track cycling programs on similar tracks are in New Hampshire www.leadcycling.com and Asheville, NC www.mellowdrome.com
