I’ll be there

Do you know if i’d need a CCC membership to participate in any of these? My track bike is finally completed and I’d love to give it a whirl at Bundah

I think you just need a CA gold licence, it doesn’t matter which club. If you don’t have one it’d pay to ask about a 3 race licence

Bigadz do you have a track bike? I know in clubs like Brunswick in Melb they lend bikes, but here I’m not sure. I’d be really keen to give it a go, but will need a track-friendly bike - my fixie is not suitable for that.

Mouche: what Bigadz said, you’ll need some kind of CA licence, generally you can buy licences just for a couple races if you don’t want to invest in a year-long one.

Vikings has loaners

Just heard from the Keepers of the Track that noobs need to do three training sessions with coaches before being allowed to race in order to learn racecraft etc.

I got out there watched most of the races. The turn out wasn’t huge, but there were enough for 4 grades. It was especially good to see about 10 kids/young teens out there giving it a go.
