What to Bring

Wear a long-sleeved top, long pants, shoes and socks. Elbow and knee pads are recommended if you have them.

“Cover all skin” is a good motto, whether you’re riding with us on a club event, or just checking your skills on the track. You can find more about our clothing and gear requirements on the Clothing and Safety page.

What to Expect

Have A Go’s usually start when the track opens on Sunday Mornings and run before racing starts. Riders should show up early to get the most out of the experience. You can check out our Facebook page for start times. There are volunteer riders and coaches around to get you up and going.

Parents and riders should check in at the container at the end of the track. We get your rider suited up with a bike, helmet and gloves.

Lets Roll!

We usually access riding ability on the final straight of the track.

Balance bike riders are always welcome , we have cones setup for riders to test there skills. If your rider is just starting out Have A Go’s can be a great experience to improve there riding ability and bike skills. One of our coaches will be on hand to aid in getting your riders skills up and rolling.

Once your riders skills are to a basic level of riding and they are feeling more comfortable we slowly progress onto the track. We usually start from the final corner and move corner by corner until they fell comfortable with the whole track.
