There will be no racing. All interested riders are invited - particularly new riders and track novices. It is a great opportunity to give track a try! Note: + Queanbeyan track is located in the park in Central Queanbeyan (behind the police station); + Track & road bikes acceptable; + New riders can get practical advice on gearing, bunch riding & track etiquette; + Interested riders can try out a track bike; + Experienced riders can tune up the machinery & motor; + All riders can express their preference for events & races; + The practice session will be around 1hr 30 mins; + There is no formal structure to the practice. You can do your own thing. + We hope all riders will later adjourn to the Rendevous Cafe to discuss the coming track season. A few basics on track etiquette for the practice session: + If you are cruising around the track, ride high (next to the rail); + Tempo riders use the centre of the track; + Use the inner track if you are circulating fast or sprinting; + Hold your line - don't make any sudden changes of speed or position; + Be very careful if you are crossing or moving on / off the track; + Start from the fence and be aware of riders approaching; + Be careful braking on road bikes. Remember the track bike on your arse has no brakes! Regular track racing will start on Thursday 13 October.
