September 19, 2007 (London, ON) – The weather is changing; you can feel it in the air. Those long muggy days seem to be over. The Forest City Velodrome is gearing up for another season of Race Events and a new Fall Riding Schedule.

Western Fair
Our booth at the Western Fair was a great success. Special thanks to Craig Lave for organizing the booth and volunteers. FVCA says thank you to those volunteers that shared their spare time. They manned the booth and handed out Forest City Velodrome Brochures & Free Race Night Coupons. The display looked great! They got the word out. We are looking forward to gaining some new Velo-kids and members from this event. Way to go!!

Fall Riding Schedule
The fall riding schedule begins Monday October 8th.
– MONDAY 3 PM — 9:30 PM
– TUESDAY 4 PM — 9 PM
– WEDNESDAY 2 PM — 10:30PM
– THURSDAY 5 PM — 9 PM
– SATURDAY 11 AM – ?

The schedule will mirror last year with a couple of exceptions.
Monday night 8 pm to 9:30 pm, Lorne Faulkenstein is running a Skills & Drills Session to be a bridge between Track 1 and being comfortable during recreational rides. Experienced Velo-kids welcome. (see Rob)
Rollers — If any one of you have rollers that you are not planning to use for the next few weeks, could you please bring them to the track and leave them on the infield? They would be on loan to help participants in our planned, new “Skills & Drills” session improve their riding skills.

Racing at FCV

2007 — 08 Membership Drive
Good News: The FCVA is pleased to announce that Velodrome Membership Fees will remain unchanged for the 2007-2008 Riding Season. In October we will be expanding the hours of operation and getting riders to participate in Recreational Programs at the Velodrome. There will be increased time to ride & train during the fall & winter.

We will be reintroducing the out of town membership for riders who live more than 100 km from the Velodrome and only come to recreation rides. All racers who participate in Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday night training and racing will be required to purchase a full membership.

Please check the website for all updated membership information. On-line membership applications will be available soon at www.ForestCityVelodrome.ca
