This session is the first step in getting introduced to the velodrome and riding the track. During this session CBTL staff will take you through all of the basics of riding a track (fixed gear) bike and get you riding the velodrome safely and confidently.  Topics covered include track etiquette and safety, what the different lines on the track mean, how to start and stop, and how to ride safely with others on the track. Club bikes are available to all participants in these sessions. All you need to bring is a helmet and a good pair of shoes.

Our Try The Track sessions run Sundays from 10:00am until 11:30am

Once you have completed one of these sessions you can either talk with a CBTL staff member as to which program would suit you best or go into our program section on the website to see the different options. We have a programs for youth, adults, women, and just open track time if you just simply want to enjoy riding the track with no structure.

Completion of this session (or proof of previous track experience at track staff discretion) is necessary prior to taking part in any other CBTL programing or sessions.
