Brian Piccolo Velodrome – Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Anyone can tell you what to do to improve your performance. But the BPC coaching staff believes that visual examples help our athletes to learn the fastest. That’s why during our track clinic weekends we video tape and review nearly everything we do with all of our athletes. We have also found that doing group video review allows for the greatest depth of learning as you get to see, ask questions and receive instruction on not only your own efforts, but the efforts of everyone at the camp. We also offer the option to have your videos from the weekend edited together and sent to you to keep for an additional fee (see “Add Ons” tab)
FRIDAY
Today is arrival day. Out of town athletes should plan to arrive by 3pm if possible. Each athlete is responsible for building their own bike and ensuring that all their equipment is properly tuned and ready for a big week of riding. We will have our first pre-camp meeting around 5pm at the coach’s hotel and will complete the sign in/registration process. This is also when we will do individual introductions, general camp overview and plan for the weekend. Once complete we will go to dinner as a group at a local restaurant. **If you want to schedule a bike fit with ERO, you must arrive early on this day and schedule ahead of time with ERO directly at www.ero-sports.com**

Brian Piccolo Velodrome is a 333m outdoor concrete velodrome with 30 degree banking in the corners. While having not hosted any large national events in a few years, the velodrome does regularly play host to the Russian and French national track cycling teams looking for warm weather locations to train during the winter UCI World Cup and World Championship season. Even in January the average highs are in the upper 70’s and lows only dropping near 60. This means every daylight hour provides near perfect conditions to get out and turn some laps while absorbing plenty of vitamin D. Add to that the fact that January is the driest month of the year for South Florida and this really is a track cyclist’s paradise!
- 4 hands-on track sessions led by BIG Picture Cycling Coaches
- World Class instruction from BPC staff on a variety of techniques and skills
- Group video review of all training efforts by BPC coaches
- Lunch between training sessions on Saturday and Sunday
- Nutrition and hydration supplies during training sessions
