The entire community is invited to the opening of the new Saxton Velodrome this Sunday, July 1, from 11am–3pm.
The velodrome is an impressive public facility for riders of all skill levels, from beginners through to competitive racers.
Organisers recommend bringing along your bike and helmet to have a spin on the track.
Beginners will have a blast on the learn-to-ride area, complete with roundabout, intersections and road signs – everything you need to practice cycling in a road environment.
Local bike clubs and shops will be on hand with information on their services, and demo bikes to try out.
Plus, there’ll be track races, giveaways, bike check-ups and more!
Elite junior cyclist Shaane Fulton will race at the opening as a fund-raiser for her upcoming trip to the junior world championships in Switzerland.
Competitors can try their luck in the race against Shaane for a $20 entry fee. Shaane will also be selling raffle tickets – come along and support our local favourite to make her mark on the world stage.
Entry to the velodrome is via Champion Rd.
Spread the love.
