November Youth Development Training camp report – Burnaby Velodrome

The popularity of the camp was tremendous as it ended up being overbooked and with a wait list of over a dozen riders. The 38 participants ranged in age from twelve to eighteen and experience levels from completely new to track to Jr Pan Am medalists. Riders came from as far away as Saskatchewan, Alberta and of course BC.

All in all a good solid day of training and racing.
