The Northbrook Garner Bicycle Club hosts the Friday Night Velodrome Race Series at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome in Northbrook, IL.

The Friday Night Series has a proud history of being the "First Bicycle Race Experience" of cyclists that have gone on to become champions. This includes Olympic, World, USA National and Illinois State champions. Friday Night alumni have also been members of the USA National Cycling team and support team for Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France Victories!

The goal of the Northbrook Garner Bicycle Club is to provide participants and spectators with a positive introduction to velodrome bicycle racing. The club promotes the benefits that cycling provides: for the participants, community and environment, while enjoying the best sport in the world!

2009 Season begins June 12! See the complete Friday Schedule.
