Warmup will begin at Noon and conclude at 1:25pm.

One of the main goals of this event is to prepare riders for the match sprints at the AVC-Hellyer (the following Friday/Saturday) and the various State, and National Championships. Tactics are a very important part of sprinting and this aspect of sprinting needs lots of practice. At 1:30pm, 3-time masters National Champion Warren Geissert will lead a 20-minute discussion and Q&A session about match sprint tactics. Following that, we'll have play-by-play commentary of the first few match sprints among experienced riders so that everyone can learn from their live examples.

We will not be running 200m time trials for seeding. (200mTT's are available the next day at the Festival of Speed 1) Riders will provide their own estimated 200mTT time and then riders will be compiled into 4 or 5 racing groups with riders of similar times for 2-up and 3-up sprints. If you have no idea what your time is we'll sort it out and you can change groups if needed.

In addition to the sprinting within the groups, riders can "challenge" any other rider to a sprint, and as long as both riders agree, they will face each other in a Challenge Sprint. This is your chance to race with your teammate, friend, rival, someone new, BFF, SO, or your roommate.

Sprints will begin with riders being held, just like in championship tournaments. Riders can do as many sprints as they like, up to 4 or 5 sprints each, depending on time available.

Entry Fee is $15 including $5 NCVA fee. No pre-registration. Juniors race for free.
