The Blackburn Cycling Club is pleased to present in conjunction with RACV Doncaster Retail Store, the RACV Junior Track Cycling Development Program which will encompass the development of Novice/Skills Training/Racing Sessions. This skills training & racing session is provided primarily for riders new to track cycling. It is run during the warmer months of the year (traditional summer track season) from 11.00am – 12.30pm, possible 1.00pm on selected Saturdays and each Thursday evening from 6.00pm – 8.00pm (sometimes longer due to Day Light Savings) at Blackburn’s East Burwood Velodrome situation at East Burwood Reserve, 298 Burwood Hwy Burwood East VIC 3151.

The objectives of each session are:
• To improve road safety and the health, fitness and wellbeing of our youth;
• To help riders new to track (velodrome) cycling become competent and confident enough to join into other club training sessions and compete on race days in a safe manner;
• To provide a training session for riders to focus on skills rather than strength and speed;
• To provide a non-intimidating training and skills session that new riders feel comfortable in attending – and enjoy enough to come back; and
• To provide a forum where riders can ask questions on technique, racing tactics or cycling in general.

For insurance reasons, it is required that all participants have an appropriate Cycling Australia licence. This is available via the club website (see the Membership details for licence information). A Come & Try Junior Permit is available for selected dates (enquire can be made with Brian Harwood Email: come_and_try@bbn.org.au.
