    CONCUSSION POLICY



    AusCycling have a strict concussion policy which is simply "if in doubt, sit them out". If concussion is suspected, the rider will be assessed by site first aid according to strict AusCycling guidelines. Riders, mums and dads do not get a say in this decision.

    Riders please take care of each other and if you see someone coming off heavily and landing on their head, either knocking themselves out or looking disorientated please take note of their number and chat to them to make sure they dont get back on the bike. Afterwards let someone know of their plate number (track marshals, photographers, caravan crew, transport crew etc)

    CLUB CODE OF CONDUCT



    Unfortunately we have had to ban multiple racers from the club over the last few years.

    With that in mind, all competitors MUST conduct themselves in a manner according to our club code of conduct.

    The code applies to all people associated with our series. Inside Line wishes to operate in a nondiscriminatory environment where people show respect for others and their property. Please line up nicely at the back of the line, you will all get plenty of runs in.

    We also operate in an environment free from harassment of any kind. We are a child-safe club and take our provision of a family friendly environment very seriously. All individuals are expected to show a commitment to Inside Line policies, rules, procedures, guidelines and agreements.

    Unacceptable Behaviour

    • 'Sledging’ other athletes, officials or event organisers.
    • Excessive use of alcohol, acting in a way that becomes a public nuisance, or creating a public disturbance.
    • Damaging another person’s property or depriving them of that property
    • Not stopping or slowing down when there is a clear issue on the track such as a downed rider to the side of the track
    • Swearing, inappropriate comments or language

    Let's be safe, enjoy riding our bikes and have some fun! :-)
