Try the Track

New to track cycling? Curious about what it’s like? Want to try it with a group of friends—or experience a little thrill? You’re exactly who this is for. 

During this 60-minute coached introduction, you’ll tour the velodrome, learn how the track works, and be fitted for a rental bike. You’ll start slowly, stay low on the track, and move up only when you’re ready. No experience or special equipment is needed—your bike, helmet, and coach are included. You’ll leave with a taste of what makes track cycling so special and, hopefully, a big grin.

Loved your first ride? Your next step is the Beginner Pathway.

The Beginner Pathway

You’ve tried the track—now it’s time to learn the ropes. The Beginner Pathway, formerly known as Certification and Accreditation, provides the time, instruction, and practice you need to become confident and comfortable riding the velodrome.

Across four 90-minute sessions, you’ll start slowly, stay low on the track, and move up only when you’re ready. Each session builds on the previous one, developing your bike-handling skills, awareness, communication, and understanding of safe riding.

Sessions must be completed in order, but there’s no need to rush. You’re welcome to take breaks and progress at your own pace. Each session is limited to 16 riders with a minimum of two coaches, allowing time for clear instruction, individual feedback, and plenty of practice.

Once you’ve completed the Beginner Pathway, we’ll provide you with information about joining Beginner Structured Training or other riding options.
