Ride the wall

It was awesome to introduce new riders to the track at Bellville velodrome on Sunday. Big smiles all around.

Join us for a POWER HOUR!

Join us on BKOOL this week for an hour on the velodrome. We have one hour sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. The sessions are open to riders from across the world and you can join any time during Tue 9 Feb or Thu 11 Feb 2021.

You can ride it at any time during the day. There are some “bots” for company and also a “ghost” rider. You can draft the “bots”, but not the “ghost” rider.

Are you looking forward to an hour of this? We are!

Join the TrackCyclingSA virtual training group on BKOOL to see when we are training. All BKOOL riders are welcome.

Pedal with us

Racing is still not permitted in South Africa and the national federation is not sanctioning events yet. The call to race or not will be made in mid Feb’21.

This means that we are innovating and exploring some new avenues. TrackCyclingSA members have been training on several online platforms during the initial lockdown last year.

We are actively exploring online options to complement our real life training and to make up for the lack of racing. We have tested the velodrome option on BKOOL and have done a few trials in terms of training and racing. More feedback to follow.

Our members are also currently training at Bellville velodrome in small groups with Covid-19 regulations in place.

Our new rider program will kick off soon and will follow the appropriate Covid-19 measures. Contract jaco@trackcyclingsa.co.za to find out more about the new rider program (Bellville velodrome) and how to join us for online training.
