Friday Night Racing
The Plus Mortgage Trust Friday Night Racing is a fun-filled night of racing with friends. Riders are graded based off ability and have three rounds of racing to implement skills from training into a race environment.
A little more about how grading works:
A Grade: Longer duration races designed for experienced and competitive riders.
B Grade: Perfect for riders who are new to bunch racing but already competent on the track.
C Grade: Focused on timed events such as team sprints and pursuits. Ideal for new riders or those not yet accredited.
new U23 Grade: An advanced category for under-23 riders, offering a competitive environment to gain bunch racing experience outside of major competition. Juniors may guest in this grade with coach approval, in addition to older riders if they can add value to the racing.
How to book:
We really appreciate bookings made in advance as it helps us plan, but you can also sign up on the night. Cost is $20.00. You can purchase a Term 4 FNR Membership here.
If you have issues booking online, please email reception@velodrome.nz.
