What is
Track Cycling?
Track cycling is the
essence of cycling.
It has the most entertaining and emotional events in cycling. Raw
speed,
tactics and ability are needed for this fast paced
high heart rate, roller coaster thriller of a
sport.
All captured on an oval banked circuit surrounded by thousands of
spectators, both indoor and out door.

About Northcote aka
DISC Indoor veledrome
Pictured
above is the newly built DISC veledrome at the sit of the old
Northcote track.
Northcote is home to heros such as Gary Niewand, Stephen Pate, Sid
Patterson and Michelle Ferris. Formally an outdoor 333m cement
track, this was the venue for all major track meetings, State
championships, major wheel races and international
stars.
Today it is a 250m, 42 degree banked indoor board track.
This Facility is shared with the Lawn Bowls community as the State
Lawn bowls centre.
This was also the competition site of the 2006 Commonwealth Games
for lawn bowls.
This track was used as a training venue for track cycling at the
Commonwealth Games in 2006.
