Also, as mentioned above, you'll want to gradually slow down (using subtle back pressure) and not try to abruptly stop or skid like the youngsters do.
Knees weren't happy when I started jogging recently.
Thanks, Carleton. I was hoping you'd chime in. After watching some races before trying the track I definitely learned how to slow myself down and then stop and unclip as I normally would before ever getting on the track. Thanks for the tips, guys! Now, I just need a bike of my own and I'll be ready!
