I'm a roadie and mtber. Ride in quick group rides, occasionally race cross country.

My boss wants me to get a license and ride with him at the carson velodrome. So, questions.

1) Think I should sign up for the intro classes or the accelerated class?

2) Sounds like a won't be able to use my bar bike conversion. Older specialized Cirrius. Any comments?

3) Will my old road pedals be ok? SPD sl.

4) Any tips on smoking an old guy who's been doing this a while? I know I'd wreck him on the road, but seems like there might be a little more technique for the track. Figure if I'm going to do this, I need to kick his ass.
