You dont need a lift pass. We will park in the Parking lot infront of Snow Summit Mountain Bike Park, then ride around the perimeter of the park. The ride very non technical so there are no rock drops or difficult riding, it is extremely scenic and offers views of the whole valley and lake. There is some climbing - but less climbing than a normal road ride, and if you dont like it you can turn around and follow a fire road back! I did this ride in 2 hours myself and I am slow - so we estimate 1.5 - 3 hours at the tops! We plan to start at 8, end before 10 or 11 and just hang out and have sandwiches - that we bring ourselves. </p> <p>Again Call or text me if your going....

We had 31 riders and a lot of fun. When entering the building and seeing the wooden banked track, there was a moment of terror. The ends of the track are banked at 47 degrees and look almost vertical at first glance. We all made our way down to the pit area and got our rental bikes. After we all set up our bikes we sat down for a lesson on track riding. The instructor, who seemed very serious and not much fun at first turned out to have a great sense of humor and was very patient with us. He did change tones with us when we messed up and let us know that we were bad but immediately went back to his humorous self. We started out with many laps on the very bottom of the track in the "Blue Band" to get us used to the fixed gear bikes. We then split up into groups and followed Andrew (the instructor) around the track several times and moved up the black line. The black line is the lowest part of the banked portion of the track. Later we followed Andrew to the blue line on the track which is 1/3 of the way up the track. This was very fun and many of us ventured off the blue line up to the rail (the very top of the track). The top of the track is very exciting especially when you look down almost 30 feet straight down in the corners. All groups took their turns and did really well. We went in groups several times and most of us became very comfortable on the banked turns. We did have one mishap where someone slid down off the track but escaped with just a few scrapes and wood burns. When our session was over, Andrew offered to let us ride the track for a while. There was a good number of riders that stayed for that. All that completed the accelerated velodrome course are now certified and can go back any time during appropriate sessions and ride.<br /> All in all, this was a great experience. If you have never been, you should seriously consider doing this some day. </p> <p>Here is a link to the pics I took with my phone:<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.vickers/Velodrome82910#" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.vickers/Velodrome82910#</a> </p> http://www.riversidebicycleclub.com/forums/topic.php?id=430#post-1194 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 18:19:22 +0000 Hugh Thornton 1194@http://www.riversidebicycleclub.com/forums/ <p>John, can you handle the announcements this Sunday?
