Track Sessions (1st October to 30th April)

The Velodrome track cycling programme is designed to ensure that all participants gain the maximum benefit from the experience of cycling on the Olympic track in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Cycling sessions are structured to ensure that only proficient riders are able to progress through to the more advanced activities. Each cyclist wishing to access the advanced sessions are required to undergo an induction test, the successful completion of which will entitle them to an accreditation card. Only riders in possession of this accreditation card can take part in the advanced sessions.
