TIME: 

  • 7:00 AM: Gates open 
  • 7:30 AM to 8:45 AM: Scrutineering and Sign-In
  • 8:45 AM: Rider’s Briefing 
  • 9:00 AM: Pit lane opens for first group

Ride Days are run in sessions. Groups are determined by experience and machinery.

  • Novice – for riders new to the track and for riders who enjoy a slower pace.
  • Intermediate – for faster riders on sports orientated bikes.
  • Advanced – for more experienced riders on sports orientated bikes.
  • Race – for expert level riders

Sessions are 15 – 20 minutes for each group and each group gets 5 or 6 in a day. All new riders start in the Novice group. The first Novice group of the day is run with a pace bike, so everyone can learn the track and get a feel for it. There is no pressure to ride any faster than you want to. As riders gain track experience they may want to move up to the Intermediate group. To change groups you must ask the nominated official.
