Wanted - Track Bike

David McGuinness is keen to get out to the track. Does anyone have a track bike for sale, or would be able to loan him a track bike? Please contact David at david.g.mcguinness@hotmail.com.

One very helpful club member had a single speed bike he was interested in. Could you please contact David if its still available. Thanks.

Wednesday, 12th October: Track Racing

Track Racing will commence this week with the first event for the 2016-17 Season.

The Program for Wednesday is as follows:
5.30pm – 6.00pm: Warm-up and free practice;
6.00pm – 6.20pm: 8-lap graded scratch race;
6.20pm – 7.00pm: 1 Lap Time Trial;
7.00pm – 7.10pm: Italian Pursuit.

From time to time, the track group receives interest from new riders who would like to try track racing. At present, we do not have spare bikes to assist with initial introductions to track.

If any ACT Vets members have a track bike gathering dust in the garage and might be interested in loaning, hiring out or selling their bike, please contact the track convenor, Graeme O’Neill, on 0408 267 734.

Sunday, 16th October: No Road Race
