Do any express trains workout for you better?
Don’t ride to Mission College – ride over 101 and take the first right – that leads you to Freedom Circle and the start.

Friday Night Track is Spinning to the 70s!

September 18 at Hellyer Velodrome 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm. Food!
Beverages! Racing! Entertainment! Free!

Say what? That’s right, boys and girls. Time to shake your groove
thing at Hellyer Velodrome next Friday, September 18. Thanks to the
sponsorship of San Jose Bicycle Club and the helpful stewardship of
SJBC President Jon Racine, it’s disco all night with no brakes
allowed.

Resident DJ, Chris “my fro is out of control” Panella will be keeping
the crowd in the mood as racers race, spectators spectate and everyone
enjoys great food, great drink and a great big blast from 30+ years
past. So, dust off those boxes from the attic, wash last week’s digs,
or swing by the closet of any 45+ Masters racer and getcherself some
proper threads.

What? You say you blocked the memories of what you wore in the 70s
and burned the photographic evidence? Or, worse! You weren’t born
yet?

Never fear! Jon Racine, President of SJBC is here! His simple how-to
list gives you every step you need to do the locomotion right back to
the 70s. Thanks, Jon!

Step 1 – HAIR: Wear it. Lots of it. Afros, shags and mustaches for
the men. For the ladies, long and straight or permed and fried. And,
what hot look screams “My hair is so 70s!” for everyone? Feathered
wings. Bring your own comb.

Step 2 – MAKEUP: Make that body shimy and shine. Dip yourself in
glitter, stick on your longest eyelashes, and spackle on a heavy
pancake of blue-not-found-in-nature eyeshadow. Remember: Eyeliner is
your friend.

Step 3 – OUTFIT: Sport vibrant earth tones in awkward, unflattering
combinations. When you know your butt looks big, you’ve found the
outfit! Synthetic fabrics only, people! Polyester and flammable
accepted. Check your labels! Bonus points for 70s suit ensembles:
Sansabelt leisure suit, velour jumpsuit, or the iconic Village People
suit.

Step 4 – FOOTWEAR: Slip on those platform shoes – white, tight, and
vinyl preferred.

Step 5 – ACCESSORIZE: Men, time to flaunt the chest carpet if you’ve
got it. If you don’t, skip this week’s waxing. Everyone? Sexy gold
chains, plastic hoop earrings, and a calculator watch.

So, be there or be talked about! Track opens at 5:30 pm, registration
opens at 6:00 pm, mayhem rolls out at 7:00 pm, disco is a lifestyle.
