GETTING STARTED: TRACK

So you'd like to try the track? This Quick Start Guide is perfect for you!

Step one: come on down and check out the action

Join us at the Velodrome from 7:00pm every Monday night to watch the action.

If you introduce yourself to the Coaches they'll tell you a little bit about the night's session, introduce you to some of our Members and answer any questions that you might have.

Step two: get your membership.

You need to be a member before you are allowed on the Velodrome to ride during our sessions (...insurance!!). You can sign up for three different types of Membership, all of which are suitable:

  1. 3 Month Recreational (Silver) Licence. Perfect for trying Track but not making a major commitment if you aren't sure if you will want to continue. You'll have access to everything the Club does on the Velodrome and the Road and if you like it- you can upgrade later.
  2. 12 Month Recreational (Silver) Licence. Just like the 3 Month licence but it is valid for longer. 
  3. 12 Month Racing (Gold) Licence. Perfect if you're planning to get serious and start racing on the velodrome or the road (read our Quick Start Guide: Racing) if this is of interest. You can always upgrade to this licence from a Recreational (Silver) Licence, so don't jump in with the extra cash straight away if you don't need to!

You can do everything online and you can contact our Secretary if you need a little bit of help.

Step three: find a bike

BYO or borrow one of ours!

We have a handful of loan bikes to help you get started. You can ask the coaches to bring one down for your first session, you'll just need to bring your pedals. They'll get you set up and ready to ride.

Or you can drop in to any bike shop and buy one. 

Step four: ride the track

Join us at the track from 7:00pm any Monday night for your first session.

Our Coaches will give you a great induction to the track, teach you everything you need to know and get you started rolling around the flat part of the track. From there, you'll develop confidence and speed and be up rolling with the rest of the group in no time at all!

Step five: where to from there?

Every rider is different, so we can't tell you exactly where you'll head from here but there are plenty of things that the Club does year-round that may be of interest:

  • Weekly Track Training is on every week for you to train and work towards fitness or racing goals.
  • Weekly training rides are on regularly for you to train and enjoy getting fitter and faster on the road as a bit of cross-training.
  • There are plenty of opportunities to Volunteer from joining a Committee or Sub-Committee to lending a hand with Social Media, Event Management or just a few hours every now and again at our events
  • You might like to have a go at racing to see what all the fuss is about, and our Coaching and Mentoring team can help you prepare for the summer Track Racing Season, BIlly Wright's Tuesday Nights or the Repsych Winter Series.

Questions?

You can ask our Track Coaches anything that you like at any time.
