Provided this great weather stays with us, Tuesday and Wednesday will be normal practices, Thursday we’ll have some changes.

Tuesday, May 7
- This will be a regular practice for all, with half trackers practicing in intervals from 5:30 to 6:30, and full trackers riding until 7:30. BBQ and concession will be open.

Wednesday, May 8
- This will be a strider / half-track practice only from 5:30 – 7:00. BBQ closed, concession open.

Thursday, May 9
- We’re changing this practice because many members (and track workers) will be leaving for the Nationals next weekend. This practice is open to all riders (half and full track). This will be an open gate practice. Concession will be open, and there will be no BBQ.

If there are any changes to this schedule, we’ll update this post and send out a message on Facebook.

Thanks to everyone who made Sunday’s Trophy Race a success. It looked like everyone had fun!
