We hope that old man winter takes a break next week.
As a reminder we need to temp to be above 40 at 6pm to open the gates @ 6:30pm.

Winter/Spring brings seen and unseen dangers to the velodrome.
Before riding the track verify it’s safe to ride – look for these and other unsafe conditions:

1. leaves are slippery even when not wet – clear them before riding!
2. verify there is no condensation on the track before riding!
3. clear of any water, ice and snow!
4. springtime pollen is also slippery!

It’s a new year so please print, complete and sign a new ATRA release wavier and bring it with you.

End of year Oz Pizza fun

Modified Marymoor Crawl: riders will start from the boards: Riders get eliminated if they put a foot down, grab the rail, ride off the track surface, fall or touch another rider or ride backwards or cross the finish line during the trackstanding period. The race will start on the officials whistle and will be one lap i.e. total of two laps.

Grudge Match: Howard Buckley vs Andrew Hodges: within 3 point for third: 3 lap scratch 9 points to the winner if they choose to race.

DLV Team of the Year: Top two teams in the team standings: East Point Track Club vs Outback Bikes. Coed Team Sprint: A team of 2-6 riders (with at least one woman and no more than four men) races for six laps, with each rider pulling off after his or her turn at the front of the line. EPTC agrees Outback can race without women.

B/C: Semi-Unkown: Each rider picks a number between 6 and 19 at registration. Sprint on lap 5 decides who’s lap number will be used.
