Hi everyone,

I'm just getting into road cycling (mainly to complement my rowing training) and a few of the people i ride with said i should try out track. Apparently it will build leg muscle a lot quicker, and give me more explosive power, which is something that would be handy in my rowing. It also looks really fun.

So i was wondering if someone would be able to tell me how to get involved? i would really appreciate anyone from CCCC in victoria replying, as i would like to know if there is any track comp during the winter that i can get involved in.

thanks

john

Get to a track and try a rental bike and a class or clinic. Bring your shoes, pedals and a helmet. Have a blast

Track racing all year round now at the indoor velodrome at DISC in Northcote.
