June 21, 2006 – In order to promote track cycling and foster the development of our up-and-coming track athletes, the CCA would like to hold a junior men’s Madison event at the Canadian Junior National Track Championships.

In order for this to take place safely, national coaches Eric van den Eynde and Vincent Jourdain will hold initiation and practice clinics during the week leading up to junior track nationals. Athletes, along with their coaches, who wish to participate should come to the Bromont velodrome for the following sessions:

– Tuesday July 4, 2 pm to 4 pm
– Wednesday July 5, 2 pm to 4 pm
– Thursday July 6, 2 pm to 4 pm (rain date)

There are no specific performance criteria to attend these clinics. Athletes interested in participating should send an email to vincent.jourdain@canadiancycling.com no later than Monday, July 3.

The CCA may cancel one or more of the sessions if participation is too low.
