Roll-Ups

 

Structured sessions will typically start with a roll-up.  The purpose of a roll-up is to get everyone warmed up.  In passing, roll-ups also teach people the moves around which a mass-start race is built.

 

Roll-ups start out slow, at 32 km/h, and slowly pick up the speed.  Everyone rides on the black line.  Once there get to be more than 12-16 people in a line, the line should be split into two roughly equally sized groups, maintaining a ½ lap separation.  During the roll-up riders will change the lead quite frequently.  How frequently they change the lead, and how high they go, should be determined by the abilities of the least experienced riders.
