Open Track.

Open track is what it sounds like: the track is open, staff are on hand, and you ride. There is no coach running a session and no set workout — it is your time on the boards, at your own pace, alongside other riders doing the same.

It runs in two versions. Track Builders is the gentler one — it is open to you while you are still working through the Beginner Pathway, for riders still getting comfortable. Regular open track unlocks once all four levels are done.

If you have just finished Level 4, we recommend riding a block of coached Structured Training before you start dropping in on your own. Being cleared to ride unsupervised and being ready to are not quite the same thing.

Regular open track is for certified riders. If you have not been through the certification pathway yet, start there — Level 4 is the one that clears you to ride drop-in. Track Builders is open earlier in the pathway, so it is the usual first drop-in session.

Bikes and helmets can be rented at the track. Everyone who rides at the velodrome needs a 2026 AVA Access Card: it is added at checkout the first time you book, and not added again if you already hold one. Ten-session punch passes for adults and youth are sold separately, and the card and punch pass rates are shown at checkout.
