We're going to be hosting a work day on Saturday the 28th of August from 9am till around 3pm in the afternoon. We've got a lot of projects that we've been holding out on and we'll be doing our best to get them done on the 28th. We'll definitely need everyone's help on the day, so put it on your calendars!! Our normal crew of volunteers will be joined by the Georgia Tech MOVE Into the Streets (ITS) Freshman Day of Service! folks to we should have a very robust crew to get plenty of projects finished up.

Just a friendly reminder to all riders that you will need to have your USAC licence updated with your current track category for the Regional Championship Race. All of the Elite men's races will be open to track category 1, 2 and 3 with cat. 4 riders only eligible to ride in the non-massed start races(TT, Pursuit, Sprint, Team Sprint). Masters events will be open for all categories, 1-4. If you are unsure of your current category status, if you're a C or a D rider, you are a cat 4. If you are B and above, you are a cat. 3 or better. Women's races will be open to all riders who are track certified. One day licences will be available on the day, in those cases we will assign you to a category based on your regular weekly racing category. Upgrades are processed by USAC through their website, and if you have any questions, please contact jeff@dicklanevelodrome.com

It took a while, but it's definitely worth the wait, if you missed the action, here is your chance top re-live it in blog/pictorial form!!

advanced training is cancelled tonight due to the current situation with the rain

Just wanted to let everybody know that we had a theft from a vehicle last night during our Wednesday night racing. A broken window and a missing purse was the result of the break-in. Just want to let folks know to please be aware of any valuables that are in your car, and if at all possible, please do not leave them in there. Secondly, we've swept up the glass as best we could, but please be aware of any residual glass that may be in the area. The break-in occurred by the light pole on the velodrome side of the carpark, so definitely don't ride your bike through that area, and carry it even if your walking through there. We are looking into our security options to try to prevent this from happening again.

The Dick Lane Velodrome would like to welcome Zipp Speed Weaponry to our growing list of great supporters and sponsors.

A great story from one of our sponsors here at the velodrome and a team who is close to sinking it's teeth into our team of the year lead, Faster Mustache.
