Gawler Wheelers - Track Night Recommendations Page






TRACK NIGHT Recommendations


Track Cycling with the Cyclones Image

Mandatory

  • Australian Safety Standards approved bicycle helmet

Obligatory

  • Emergency Contact Information

Advisable

  • Your own track cycle or hire a Super-Drome track cycle

  • Eye protection (spectacles or cycling sunglasses with clear, amber or anti-glare lenses)

  • Cycling gloves

  • Trainers (sand shoes) for strap pedals

  • Clip on pedals

  • Cycling shoes for use with your own clip on pedals

  • ➨ Gawler Wheelers Team Kit (optional)

  • Pedal wrench to attach your own clip on pedals (at the discretion of the Super-Drome coach)

  • Allen key set to adjust seatpost and handlebars (at the discretion of the Super-Drome coach)

  • Wheel nut wrench (if using your own track cycle)

  • Track pump

  • Water bottles containing sports drink or water

  • Towel (you will sweat)

  • Change of clothes for driving home

  • Food (snacks)

  • Kit bag

  • Camera (batteries charged)

  • Track legs

  • Entry Fee in cash - either $15, $20 or $35 (bring the exact amount to avoid needing change)

Special Note

  • Compared to a normal road bike or a 'singlespeed/fixie' bike, a dedicated track cycle generally has a bottom bracket height of 28cm or more, a 75° head angle, fixed gearing above 74 gear inches, horizontal dropouts and shorter crank arms to cope with velodrome banking.

  • A 'hipster singlespeed/fixie' bike may not be suitable for use on a velodrome.

Cost

  • $20 (includes track cycle hire - limited numbers and sizes (child, 50, 53, 56 & 59cm))

  • $15 (BYO track cycle)

  • Free (spectators)

  • [$35 (i.e $20 + $15 or $17.50 for each rider) (sharing a track hire cycle between two riders)]
