Cycling Journal: Jamie Plower

“One of my cycling dreams was to be able to ride in a velodrome. That dream came true this past when I went to a Try The Track Day at Valley Preferred Cycling Center (T-Town) in Trexlertown PA.

This was a 2-part class where you learned the basics, then competed in some different style races. At the end, you also have the option to get a USA Cycling race license.

I was so nervous in the first part with such a large group attending. Settled in and was having fun by part 2.

While learning how to ride on the track, I met a great group of people from Major Taylor NJ club who were really encouraging. It’s such an amazing day and can’t wait to go back again.”
