RACE INFORMATION:
Experience the excitement & thrill of cycle racing on an international race track. Smooth sealed surface, no vehicles – this is road cycle racing at its best.

All riders are graded according to their fitness level so you will enjoy racing with riders at a similar level as yourself. All grades start with 6 laps of the track and each lap is approx 3.44 km so total distance is around 20.64 km.

 

Later in the series we may increase A & B grades to 8 laps if they are all in agreement.

BUNCH RIDING TUITION: PRE XMAS ONLY

For anyone interested in learning to bunch ride, racing at Ruapuna is a great place to learn this skill. All you need to do is turn up, register yourself in the E grade category and be ready to go at 6:45pm.

 

Either Scotty or Aiden (from Scotty Browns) will firstly talk to you about bunch riding, then take you out onto the track and show you how to ride in a bunch.

 

You can stay in this grade for as long as you wish or if you are feeling confident and would like to start racing, simply move up to the next grade.
