ARRIVE & RIDE
If you are planning your first visit to the Track you need to remember the following:
1. Your Bike - Save some time and check that everything is in good working order, i.e it doesn't have a puncture!
2. Protection - You MUST wear a helmet. Also if you own elbow, shin or knee pads we strongly advise you wear those too as if the unlikely happens and you have a fall you are less likely to need to visit our First Aiders.
3. Booking - If you have your own bike and helmet there is no need to book, but do check the website for current opening times and also the weather forecast - more details on Weather see below.
The Race Track has an all weather coating meaning The Track is open whatever the weather. Unfortunately the opening of some sections of the Track is weather dependent. This is for riders safety. We thought it might help if we explained some of the weather conditions that would stop us from opening these sections.
