San Diego Velodrome Monday Adult Training Classes

More updates: SDVA asked the City: "Everyone is asking me, and I don’t have an answer, so I am asking you, do you have any idea when we could open up for classes and races?" Answer from City: "Not sure but think this will fall under spectator issues and gatherings which is way down the list, stage 4.... I will go out on a limb and say not till next year." So we will have to wait and see See more

Hi Students, Good news the velodrome plans to open June 30 to individuals who are members of the SDVA. They must sign a new waiver and agree to the safety protocol set by the City of San Diego. The BOD thinks that classes and workouts may be able to start in mid-July/start of August but with some safety changes. I will keep you updated.... This is from the SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SANITATION PROTOCOL - PARKS & BEACHES for the San Diego Velodrome: "Velodrome will be providing disinfectant cleaning supplies and require our membership to wipe down all surfaces that they touch before and after every use. Signs will be posted throughout the Velodrome reminding the membership that disinfecting areas are required in order to use the facilities. No classes, races or group training sessions are allowed at this time. No pacelines." If you need a refund at this time, here's what I can do. I will have the San Diego Velodrome Association issue you a check less $20 for administration fees. I will need your full name and mailing address. There is a good chance we will hold two 6 week sessions. One with a start date of August 3 and the other September 21. If you are already paid, you will be able to choose which session works for you. Remember this is not official just hopeful thinking. And I am hoping the Thursday 9am workouts will return in August as well. Hope you are doing well, Pam

I hope you all are doing good. We still do not know when we can get back to classes but it will be at least a month if not longer. Here is a note from Sean Burke who runs Tuesday night racing and Wed, classes: Without getting into the details, the velodrome can't currently meet city and county guidelines to re open. Folks are working on it, things are changing weekly, and here is a possibility that the track will open in some manner in about a month. Obviously that is... a hope rather than a promise, and there may be restrictions for some time to come, but hopefully we’ll be able to get to the track and train. It would be nice to start racing in some manner soon after, but that may need to be adjusted as well. One of my thoughts is to start off with a month of Tuesday Night Training, with only A and B racers, possible field size limits, and no spectators. Then progress to racing from there and to race into October. We may be able to have spectators by then, or we may have to restrict the facility to racers and junior parents only. The fact is that we have really don’t know what we will and won’t be able to do right now. But just know that I’m thinking about it, the SDVA BOD is thinking about it, and we all want to open up as soon as it’s safe and legal to do so.

Miss all you guys. Looking forward to being able to start up at some time. I'll keep in touch

We have a great group - looking forward to coaching all of you when it's safe

Of course all my classes and workouts are on hold. I miss all of you. Once we know when we can restart, - we will. Everyone is doing a great job - keep up the good work
