Madisons at JBMV are changing! We all know that the Madison is one of the most exciting and complex events on the track, and we want to do even more to make this even safe and fun at our track. With that in mind, we’re instituting a new Madison training series on Monday nights, which will function as a qualifier for Madison racing under the lights on Friday nights. Feel free to send us feedback at admin@velodrome.org.
