Top track cyclists in Pacific Northwest and Canada coming to Burnaby for
November Track Cycling races
On Friday, Nov 7, some of the top cyclists from BC, Alberta, Quebec,
Ontario and the Western United States will begin three days of track racing
in Burnaby at North America?s only indoor velodrome. The competition will
give local riders a chance to test their skills as they prepare for the
winter track racing season. It will also enable potential Canadian 2004
Olympic hopefuls such as local rider Mandy Poitras to stay on a level
playing field with the rest of the world in her quest for Olympic gold.
Among the races featured are:
a.. Mass start, sprint and timed events
b.. Points races ? 50 laps, point sprints every 10 laps
c.. Miss-n-outs ? sprints every 2nd lap, last place rider eliminated
d.. Kilometer and 500m time trials ? individual riders against the
clock
e.. Keirins ? Japanese style racing behind a pace bike
All racing takes place at the Burnaby Velodrome, a 200-metre wooden track,
located inside the Harry Jerome Sports Centre near SFU, featuring
hair-raising 47 degree corners and lots of opportunities for dramatic photos
and visuals. There will be novice Learn to Race clinics held the week before
to prepare riders for their first race and a VeloVets program held during
the lunch hour. Please find attached tentative race schedule and media
release. Saturday and Sunday will be Omnium events with possibility of
separate Sprint and Endurance Omniums as well as overall. Friday events are
not part of omnium. Race entry available in the next few weeks For more
