Track Training sessions

[Boostland]

Tuesdays and Fridays 6 PM Newcastle Velodrome Training ($5 inc bike loan)

These are on all year round and have trained coaches in attendance.

awesome - thinking about getting back into track racing - I might have a go at one of the sessions in a couple of months

Updated first post to include Fridays sessions.

Note This Tuesdays session is canceled due to Mick Chapmans funeral

I was asked this yesterday - do you need a CA Licence to attend track training at the VElodrome?

[hilljockey]

No, just $5

Are there still any Saturday training sessions going? I'm keen to get some longer efforts/motorpacing.

I have recently moved up from the Central Coast & have a question:

Are roadies allowed on the Newcastle Velodrome outside of designated track training & racing sessions?

Having recently given up the track bike & recovering from a collarbone reconstruction I would like to get back on the bike as soon as given the all clear, & would like to start with some controlled powertap track sessions on the road bike.

While this is available at Adcock Park, not sure if this is an option in Newcastle.

Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

Roadies are not really that safe on the Velodrome due to the banking and the risk of hitting a pedal.

You could always go to the flat track at Townson oval and train there, there are some older guys that train there on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Thanks Boostland.

Not too concerned about the banking having spent many a formal training session on a banked concrete velodrome in Johannesburg. We would have 40 riders pacing around a 400m track with a bank as steep, with all very mindful of the angle of ascent & decent up & down the bank.

I'll check out Thomsen Oval though.
