Hidden Valley Crit Training
Crit Training is on again almost every Thursday Night in 2024 a total of 41 sessions for the year.
Crit Training is on smooth closed racetracks, in graded groups, good fun, great workout. Socialise with other participants at One Mile Brewery in Winnellie post training, hydration is key.
Come on down to Hidden Valley each Thursday night for criterium training. We utilize 2 venues, Hidden Valley Raceway, and the Go-Kart Track.
Online Entry Fees and Membership Criteria Apply. You can purchase a single session ticket (if you only wish to come every now and then) or you can purchase a season pass for $50 - which covers every training sessions for the year, valid until 20/12/2024. Get tickets here.
Gates open 5:30 pm Thursdays for a 6 pm sharp start. See map here for details on Hidden Valley main track access. Our agreement with the Hidden Valley Management is that we are off-site by 7 pm, so please ensure that you make a quick departure once training ceases.
The training is several laps around the race circuit (2.87 km laps), sometimes 6 -10 laps in one go (depending on your grade) but often a combination of a smaller number of laps. It can be intense, but you can ride at your own speed on a really smooth race track. Each grade will decide the number of laps before the training commences.
As this is a club event, all riders need to have a minimum of Lifestyle membership through AusCycling, although an AusCycling Race All Disciplines membership will let you participate in any of our race events. Membership options here.
Because of the need to manage risk to the Club, from time to time audits will be conducted of participants attending Crit Training to verify an appropriate AusCycling membership and financial status.
Note, when the main track is unavailable due to motorsport events being given precedence (V8's, MotoGP, etc), crit training will be held at the nearby Go-Kart track. See the calendar below.
Wet Weather Policy
Only very wet weather will prevent crit from proceeding. We will post on our Facebook page by 4.30pm(ish) if it's not going ahead. If it's looking in doubt we'll still post to confirm one way or another. No post = going ahead. We will also leave a sign on the gates when we cancel the training due to bad weather just in case the gates are already open for some other purpose. Please do not enter the venue when this occurs.
