Event Details

This is the first of a series of timed gate start sessions at DISC Velodrome, through the 2024-2025 track season.

This is an opportunity for riders to have a gate start under competition settings and set a time in their chosen discipline of the Time Trial or Individual Pursuit.

Riders will complete the distance in their age category for the 24/25 track season.

Each rider completing their chosen discipline will receive lap splits and total distance time, recorded with handheld stopwatch.

Each rider will get two gate start efforts, which can be two TT or two IP efforts, or the rider can choose to attempt a TT and IP.

This will give the rider a representative time which may assist with training for the State Championships. This will help rider familiarity with the countdown clock and release of the start gate in simulated competition setting.


Registration

Opens at 9am and will be located at the registration desk in the infield.

All riders must check in to ensure laps counters are set for the rider's age category. Registration will close at 9:50am


Race Format and Regulations

Riders will start from the gas-operated startgate, with competition countdown.

To be provided with a representative time for the TT or IP, riders must compete the full distance

PLEASE NOTE:

Riders should be at the waiting area for their start at least five minutes before their attempt. We will call riders to the start and within reason, will wait for riders to present for their effort.

Due to time constraints we will start the next rider on the list if the scheduled rider fails to present within a reasonable time. The rider that fails to present for their effort may be able to complete their effort, depending on available time for the session.


Presentations and Prizes

Riders will be provided with the total time for their TT or IP effort, along with the lap splits. Please see the commissaire or timing person for your results.
