Wednesday results are here.
from Alan Atwood
Another season of track racing is right around the corner at the friendly confines of the Kissena Velodrome in Flushing. Opening Weekend is here, and for the NYC trackies that means summer is right around the corner. Â
The velodrome has gotten very popular over the last several years, as many road riders have found a second hobby if you will on the fixed gears. This has made for a lot of good racing lately, and it should continue with this weekend’s opener. With around 75 entries expected, this should be the start of the best year ever for the velodrome. It continues next week with the start of the very popular Twilight Series, which is now expanding to 2 nights a week to accommodate all of the participants. Â
Â
If you are feeling the need for speed, registration for this weekend is open until Friday night. Otherwise, come on out and watch the races and have a good time; after all this is why we ride and race our bikes. Information on the weekend’s event can be found on the Kissena Cycling Club’s track page, which is located at http://www.kissena.info/track. Â

Hope to see everyone out for a great time and great fun.
Wow! this is a great start to what is looking like a
great year. I took Matt Pascale to Cali and that energy has transfered to the east coast. Dave Z and Floyd told me they were impressed with the quality of riders coming out of this area. After the first weekend and wednesday twilight racing night
I must say we look like talent has come back to Kissena. I wish I was twenty years younger this is an exciting time to be racing. Thank you all
Brooklyn velo Force, Alan Atwood and his staff,
Tommy Sebago and his crew, my street racers now turned world class, Kevin Bolger and the Cyclehawks.

If anyone is wondering… the races are on today. They are ‘banking’ on the track drying fast. 🙂
See ya there!
Drag your ass for 100 hours in your automobubble to pay 100 dollars to sit in sucking 100 wheels for 100 good reasons none of which you can manage to remember because you’re an annon. Watch out your POS.
If we want to ride by and watch, when does the racing start?
You know they’re taking down that mural? Lifting it off the wall chemically and it’s going to a museum. End of an era. Not that anyone here would care…
Was a total sandbagger!

To all the Track Guys that have been patiently waiting for their season to start. Best of luck especially to the DC Racing crew.
It’s there in the track page:

do we really want him winning every race?
if you race on the road you can race on the track. honestly it is not that different. you just take all the good parts of a bike race and cram it into less than 10km. chill, then repeat. kissena even has loaner bikes.
i (as well as others) will happily offer my time and help orientate you to the track. if you want to go this weekend and show up early i will meet you there.
furthermore… kissena is a perfect track to learn because it is flat and relatively uncrowded. plus the ice cream man comes.
hardly anyone up in there
I would like to try out some track racing this summer. Are there any clinic-type sessions to learn the basics? I’ve heard that there are, but can’t find info on the website. thanks.
