7-31-06 I know this site is suppoesd to be dedicated to Track Cycling,
but there's a great website that I would like to recommend to all my
friends who read this site. Everybody should really check out
WWW.STOLENUNDERGROUND.COM This is a great site with tons of
editorials on the doping and drug situation in the sport today.
It is updated all the time and is written from the perspective of a
Cyclist who got screwed by the "system" If you have raced at the
elite level then you already know how it works, but if you haven't this
site will give you the jaw dropping truth.
7- 25- 06 I just posted some new pics from last Thursday's training session. PHOTOS
7- 18- 06 Our Juniors definately represented Florida well at last
weeks Junior National Championships. Congratulations David
Espinoza on bringing home your 1st National Championship. Photos

Last nights sprint championships were a big success. The
third event in the Florida State Championships series had the largest
field and most spectators so far. The night started with a 200m
Time Trial to seed the Sprint Tournament. The top 12 moved to
sprint rounds and the non qualifiers continued the night with 2 scratch
races. Thank you goes out to Roger Hernandez and Mundo Culturista
for supplying prize packages for the top three sprinters of the
night. Thank you to Debbie DiSario for spending her night doing a
color commentary to keep the crowd into the racing. Also thank
you Carlos Laborde and Jason "Mini Me" for your help during the races
and the great peel out in the parking lot afterward.

5-30-06 Race report, results and all photos for the 2006 State Pursuit Championship have now been posted.
5-26-06 The weather held out last night for a great evening of
Pursuits. There was a good turnout and this race, like the Kilo
was pretty hotly contested.
Last year there were only 4 riders to break the 5:30 mark. Last
night there were 8 riders faster than that mark. The winner was
defending State Champ Alex Zambrana with a time of 5:13. Pics are
posted and results will be up as soon as I get them.
Don't forget that in two weeks is the State Match Sprint championships. Don't miss it!!

Video section. We've just added two of the Kilos from the State
Championships earlier this month.

5-12 06 Results from last night's Kilometer championships have been posted. HERE
5-12-06 Thank you to everyone who showed up for the Kilometer
championships last night. We had a good turnout with a few more
riders than last year. Conditions were breezy and warm, but that
didn't stop the riders from throwing down some blistering times!!
No one has posted a time faster than 1:12 in competition at this track
since the World Cup Qualifier was held here in February of 2004.
Last night two people went under. One other thing I noticed is
that in 2004 and 2005 the winning time was 1:12 and there were four
people under 1:15. Last night there were TWO riders in the 1:10's
and about SIX under 1:15. The competition was hot!! I've posted
some pics submitted by Eddie the Argentinian here. I'll be
posting videos and more pics as soon as I get them.
Check out out new VIDEOS section either on the main page or by clicking anywhere on this line.
5-05-06 Last night was a great night out at the track. There was
a pretty good turnout with everyone doing solo timed races to get ready
for next week's State Championship Kilo. The level of competition
at the track is really picking up! A lot of PR's were broken and
times are getting faster. Congratulations to everyone who was out
there. I will post times as soon as I get them.
5-01-06 Click here to see the race report archive including the new hot off the presses April 27 race report!!
4-28-06 Last night was an other awesome night at the track. There
were about 15 people out last night which is a few more than last week,
and hopefully there will be more people next week. Our thoughts
go out to David Espinoza who crashed twice last night. We hope
you feel better soon. Last night we did a 9 lap scratch race, a
handicap race and everyone did a 200 meter time trial. There was
also a match sprint with Kevin McGuire the Junior going head to head
with Mailman Mike. I will post the race report as soon as I
receive it.
DON'T FORGET the STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS are coming up. We will run
one Championship event every other Thursday starting May 11 with the
Kilometer Time Trial. After the main event there will be 2 other
races. Check the link to the CALENDAR for the rest of the State
Championship Events.
4-24-06 Last Thursday April 20 was the first Thursday of racing this
year. We had a pretty good turnout considering that some of the
usual suspects were unable to make it out. I'll be getting the
results in the next day or so and they'll be posted once I get
them. There was a ten lap scratch race, a handicap race and an
unknown distance. There were also three exhibition 500m time
trials. For pics click here.
4-12- 06 Last week I got my Clemente frame. I know this is a
Track site and this is a road bike, but I'm very excited and had to
write about it. Also, keep an eye out for the Custom Clemente
Kilo frame. Click here to read my review and see pics.
4-9- 06 We have video footage from last Thursday's training. Last

3-3-06 I just found out there's going to be a track race SUNDAY, MARCH
12. Racing will start at 11am. We're expecting a great
turnout. Don't miss this one!!!
There will be races for beginners and more experienced riders. Everyone is welcome!!!
2-27-06 I just found out that the lights are still out and that there
will be no nighttime riding till they're fixed. I'm going to try
to get some Sunday races lined up till the lights come back on, but
can't guarantee anything. Thank you to everyone who has been
patiently waiting. I promise that when night racing resumes it's
going to be great.
2-22-06 I'm very excited to announce a new addition to the site that
will be up shortly. Our favorite local rider Mike Felling is
going to be doing a race recap. Click on the picture below for
the race recap from Sunday, February 19. If anyone has any
comments, is interested in adding their views to the race recap or
would like to write their own please email me at
floridatrackcycling@yahoo.com
2-22-06 One of our big supporters Clemente Cycles is now making CUSTOM
CARBON FRAMES. The frames are made from top quality Dedacciai tubing
and are basically the same frames that MOSER, Corratec and most
companies offer in stock sizes and geometries. The big difference is,
while these frames are either made by machine or in a factory in
taiwan, expert framebuilder is putting attention to detail and your
needs building these frames by hand. Clemente will also make them
Custom fit for you for a lot less than these big names are charging for
a mass produced frameset. Do you know where your COLNAGO is made or who
makes it?? Cost for a Custom Carbon Clemente Frameset will be $1600-
$2600. For info on the Carbon Clemente click here. Pics of his carbon
work will be posted soon.
2-22-06 I have the results from Sunday's informal races. Informal
didn't mean not intense. Three races had three different
winners. We also had Steve beat his personal best standing lap by
almost 2 full seconds. Keep up the good work.

2-21-06 Thank you to Jason who helped coordinate some unofficial races
on Sunday. Unfortunately Carlos, our only official had to be out
of town, and without Jason we would've been left to do paceline
work. Also, thank you to everyone who showed up to race. I
heard a rumor that due to the Masters 75+ recumbent races this weekend
the scheduled races for this weekend have been cancelled. I will
confirm this as soon as I get a definate answer. We have pics
from Sunday and they are under the Feb Race Series button on the photos
page or you can click here. Thank you Paul and Harriett.
Carlos Clemente has recently finished the track frameset and stem he's
been working n for Kirk Albers of the Professional Jelly Belly Cycling
team. What a beautiful frameset, I can't wait to get mine.

2-17-06 Last night I had the chance to check out the new DOWNTOWN
BICYCLES STORE on Sunrise Blvd. Kudos to Mario and Valentina,

huge grand opening party with a halfpipe set up in the parking lot with
X-Games riders performing. They will be having drawing for a FREE

soon as possible.
2-06-06 Yesterday was the first race of the February Track
Series. Things went very well. It's really exciting to come
out to the track and have good turnout. We had a nice turnout
with some agressive racing. The chilly weather and some hard
racing contributed to some sore lungs afterwards. Check back for
the full results, and omnium standings.
2-1-06 Don't forget the first track races of the year will be this
Sunday at 11am. Depending on the turnout we will have an A
and B category. There should be 3 or 4 events per category.
Come on out and build a great foundation for a long season.
A big thank you goes out to Larry DiSario for taking time out of his
busy schedule to offer a Madison clinic last Sunday. There was a
very enthusiastic turnout and a lot of people that are new to the
track. Everyone had a great time and we will be offering an other
class soon. Info on dates will be posted as soon as they are firm.
1-9-06 We will be holding a Madison Clinic on Sunday January 29 at
9am. Everyone is welcome from beginners to experienced
riders. Come and learn about the ultimate event in bike handling
skills. If you have any questions please email me at
floridatrackcycling@yahoo.com I hope to see you out there.
FEB RACE SCHEDULE - Races will be held:
Sunday Feb. 5, Sunday Feb.12, Sunday Feb.19 and Saturday Feb.24.
Racing will start at 11am. Race fliers should be out by tomorrow
and you can pick them up at any local bike shop this weekend.
LIGHTS will be fixed by the second week in February. I just found
out that three of the stadium lights needed to be re-wired and they
needed to replace 33 bulbs. Unfortunately special equipment and
expertise is needed to do this and that's why it is taking so long.
1-4-06 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We've just confirmed a new sponsor for
the February Race Series. Mundo Culturista supplements and
personal training. More details coming soon. Below are some

9-7-05 WE HAVE OUR MESSAGEBOARD BACK!!!!! Click here to check it
out. Please post any suggestions regarding the track or track
racing.
8-30-05 I'm hearing rumors of some UPCOMING TRACK RACES in the
wings. I believe that they are going to hold the Junior State
Track Championships the first weekend in November. I also heard
that Team Pursuit and Team Sprint State Championships will be held the
last week in November and the first week of December
respectively. Keep checking back for the latest updates.
EDITORIAL NOTE: Since the messageboard is currently down I'm going to
post my comment here. A couple suggestions for the upcoming races:
1) Since there are so few Juniors that race track at this time it
might make sense to include some racing for seniors as well. That
will help to bring a bigger crowd to watch and support the
racing. It will also bring a more competitive atmosphere to the
competition.
2) Since we still need to hold a State Championship in Keirin,
Team Sprint, Team Pursuit and Scratch races I would like to propose
running them in consecutive weeks rather than multiple State
Championship events in one night. This way everyone can compete
in every championship race. If we hold more than one championship
event per night then the sprinters would be too tired to compete
in the endurance events and vice versa. That should help to bring
a bigger fields and tougher competition to these races.
3) In addition to Championship events hold 3 non championship
races each race night. Have some of them short and some longer
distances so everyone can benefit.
4) If you have any suggestions or if you are interested in
putting up some sponsorship money to help offset the costs of putting
on these races, and give us the ability to offer prize money please
email me at floridatrackcycling@yahoo.com

respectively in the 35-39 sprints. Earl Henry dominated the 60-
64 sprints for another national title. Pictures will be posted as
soon as I can find them.

Indianapolis. In the 35-39 category Roger Hernandez of Miami

also of Miami took the last qualifying spot, 6th with a time of
11.930. In the 60-64 group Earl Henry had the fastest time with a

his resume with a 38.085. If you are a Florida rider and I didn't
