From http://www.nscsports.org/sports/cycling/index.htm:

New-to-the-track & veteran racers are encouraged to attend this FREE intro night. If you have never ridden the track before, this is a great, no-pressure way to check it out. Experienced women riders are encouraged to help out by coming to meet and encourage new women riders. Bring a friend or teammate who has yet to ride the track. (Veteran riders are welcome to ride from 5:30 until we get the new women up on the track.)

Arrive at the velodrome by 5:30pm to get set up with a rental bike.
Instruction will begin at 6:30pm.
Bring your pedals, shoes, helmet, cycling attire, and water.
The National Sports Center Velodrome is located just south of 105th Ave NE on Davenport Street in Blaine, MN.

RSVP to nscvelodromewomen@gmail.com and indicate what size bike you will need.

Women’s Track Night also serves as week one of the four week women-only introductory track class, which is a precursor to racing on the track. For more information and to register for the full 4-week class online, go to:  http://www.nscsports.org/sports/cycling/ride/intro_class.htm
