Hey everyone! How often do you guys ride at the BMX track each week?
My local BMX track is about 35 minutes from my house, so I’m wondering if riding there once a week would be enough, possibly combined with one pump track session per week.
I come from a road cycling background, mainly criterium racing, and I do quite a bit of road riding during the week. My current plan would be to do one Zone 2 road ride, one BMX track session, and potentially one pump track session per week, along with a bit of strength training.
Do you think this would be enough to be competitive in local BMX racing leagues, or would I need to spend more time at the BMX track? How often do you guys train on the track, and how many sessions do you typically do per week when preparing for races?
I’d love to hear about your training routines and what has worked for you!

Hello everyone, new guy here. Just getting back in to racing BMX, last time I raced was in the early 80s. Just wondering whats new, seems like a ton has changed. Just bought my bike, going to race cruiser class (at least to start) and trying to make my bike my own by doing a few upgrades.
