Velodrome & BMX Track Open Saturday

As of 7.35am, we are a go for Saturday Track Workout and BMX racing. The Velodrome is drying out and the BMX track has taken on some much needed water. See you there!

Velodrome Line Painting Project

We're in the midst of having the Velodrome surface repainted. By doing so, the track will now be a 333 meter racing oval, instead of the former, 318m. This will help accomplish several things: #1 we will have an inner apron, the "blue band," that is commonly seen at Velodromes--this provides a safety zone while racing, on the inner most edge of the track surface; #2 the track's distance (now 3 laps to the kilometer)will make racing Pursuits easier because two riders can now start on opposite sides of the track simultaneously for a true Pursuit--this will enable Pursuit racing events to progress more quickly; #3 with the wider radius and more steeply banked racing surface, riders will be able to maintain and control their bikes at higher speeds going into the turns, especially towards the finish lines in Turn 4. Work should be complete by the end of today, Friday, just in time for Saturday Workout, and this coming weeks' continuing Pursuit Series. Here's a picture of the project in process.

Pouring rain right now in NH, no racing; the weather does look promising for the rest of the week, and remember, Saturday June 5, 2010 is our first NBL race of the season at the Northeast BMX Track.

2nd open practice draws enthusiastic crowd

The Northeast BMX track held its 2nd open practice Saturday.
Riders took advantage of the work that has been done, and were able sample the changes made. At the track and wielding rakes and shovels were former pro riders Jim Paiva and Bob Jenney, as well as track designer Rick Bell, and Cartel Team member Chris DeAmelio. Riders liked the new clay surface and design. Work continues in preparation for our planed June 5th opening race.
Join us next Saturday, May 29th from 9-1 for our next open practice.

Helmets required, full face helmet recommended. This event will be weather dependent, please check back Friday night for notice of rain closure. Please email info@northeastvelo.com for more info.

Opening Day at Northeast BMX Track May 15, 2010

The Northeast BMX Track's season opening roll session, despite the extremely windy conditions, was a great success, with riders rolling laps for hours and hours; riders made the trek to Londonderry from various parts of both NH & MA. Local rider, Jim Paiva, also held an impromtu photo session with riders catching some serious air. Weather willing, we'll be having another practice session this coming Saturday, May 22, 2010. You can see more of Jim's pictures here.
