This map shows you the route to training. You will need to know the route and know how to ride safely on the road or paths to get there. You must wait at the regroup points, and not pass the lead teacher.
Normally Thursdays involve the orange route to the Teardrop on the Kew Yarra Boulevard. Occasionally we may take the yellow route along bike paths to the Hawthorn Velodrome.
All boys must be counted out and in by a member of staff. Do not leave until you have been checked off.
The Kew Teardrop is our regular training venue. It's a hilly 1km closed circuit. It's also a venue for HCC's criterium races.

Travelling along the bike paths to the Velodrome.

The Hawthorn Velodrome is a great place for some fast laps
If it's really rainy on a Wednesday or Thursday then we may cancel, or we may use the spin bikes at school. Make sure you have your runners just in case. Mr Ryder will always email to confirm any changes by 3pm.
