📚 Sunday School is in session June 9th from 1-4pm!
🖤 There’s nothing that warms our tiny, cold Skunk hearts more than Sunday School. This volunteer-run session shows the best of the track community: no one’s getting paid, no one’s getting clout, but everyone gets something out of the session. People volunteer their time because it’s rewarding to give back to this community we all love so much. 🖤
Sunday School is a beginner-friendly structured training session focussed on skills progression. This session provides guidance from experienced volunteer leaders – if you’re interested in volunteering, please DM or email us at [email protected]

⏱️ Sunday’s time trials were a showcase of individual speed (so much speed!), but the team events were the star attraction, featuring SEVEN Team Sprint teams!
We had teams with mixed Masters + a @searchforspd rider, a family (parents and daughter), all-junior phenoms, all- @thehellyervelodrome and more. We love the team events because it’s super fun and everyone has a good time (stopit with the puns, yer killin’ us).
Results: the second link in our IG linktree will take you to ALL of the Skunkworks results. There are QR codes around the @velosportsctr facility that will take you there too.

There were two kinds of Ominums at the June 1st Omnium Madness: Madison and Juniors, but, let’s face it, the main event was the FATC Juniors Rule! Omnium. Why? Because Juniors RULE! (d’uh!).
The three categories of age 9-12, 13-14 and 15-16 included first time racers, multi-year veterans and many doubled up and also raced in the Madison Omnium! FATC’s number one rule is “Have fun” which they absolutely did and they demonstrated good sportsmanship, and raced safely (AND FAST)!
We’re so grateful to the @fatrackcycling for trusting us with their Junior Rules! Omnium at @velosportsctr . We do a lot of wisecracking over here at Skunkworks HQ, but we have such admiration for what FATC does for the most important racers at the track: the Juniors. We hope everyone had a terrific time and we completely agree: JUNIORS RULE!

🤝💕 The @fatrackcycling Madison Omnium was a spectacular hand-slinging success! The Madison Cup expanded from a single points race to a 3-event omnium (Scratch, Flying 500m TT, and Points) with TWO fields: Development & Elite.
We loved seeing racers from @thehellyervelodrome , Arizona and our locals racing their hearts out, showcasing their MADison skills. If you’re interested in getting started racing Madison, there’s no better training than Roger Young’s @youngs.training Madison School, every Sunday 11am-1pm at VSC.
Thank you so much to FATC for supporting Madison and Junior racing (more on that shortly) at @velosportsctr !

Rolled down to the track in Carson with James for the Skunkworks Madison Cup today. Here’s a brief recap Madison Scratch Race: we didn’t finish first. 😹

🤝💕Not only is @fatrackcycling sponsoring Juniors Rule!, the Foundation is also presenting the FATC Madison Cup with both a Development and Elite omnium. What’s a Madison Omnium? Just like it sounds: an omnium with three events: Scratch, TT, and Points, scored like an individual omnium, but as a two-person Madison team.

It’s almost time for the FIRST WEEKEND RACE of 2024! We can’t wait to see your smiling faces at @velosportsctr on Saturday, but let’s face it, we’re most excited to see the Juniors for the @fatrackcycling Juniors Rule! Omnium. If you have a Junior who’s keen to race, sign up today and get ready for some terrific racing!
The Foundation for American Track Cycling (FATC) has a long history as the title sponsor for Juniors Rule! Omniums and Skunkworks takes the responsibility of providing an excellent Junior race experience seriously. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be A LOT of fun along the way!
FATC Juniors Rule! Omnium categories:
Age 9-12
Age 13-14
Age 15-16
Final note as we prepare for the races: we have some guiding values here at Skunkworks that we think our community shares: help out a Junior, volunteer at an event, show good sportsmanship, and race safe+hard. Racing requires many hands to lighten the load, so please DM us if you’re able to volunteer, especially to help out the Juniors. It’s important for the Juniors and their families to know how much the VSC community supports younger racers.

⏱️ Get ready for the June 2nd Time Trials!
REMINDER: The Endurance Session now starts at NOON! Why? Because we’re Skunks! Also, we’ve gotten pretty darn good at running the morning Sprint Sessions (humble brag) and can comfortably start the afternoon Endurance Session earlier than in the past.
No matter which Race of Truth you’re planning to ride, sign up on BikeReg because there’s NO on-site registration. The third link in our bio linktree will take you to registration: /skunkworks-track-racing-time-trial-june-2
