Hot Laps – Campbellfield, Vic, Australia

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:31:37 +0000

Start Location: National Boulevard, Campbellfield, Vic, Australia
Start Time: 6:30pm winter months
Distance of Ride: 1.8km Circuit, depends on how many laps you do.
Average Bunch Size: 2-10
Ride Contact Details: Aleks – The Bike Shed, 1/63 Hamilton St Craigieburn 3064
Phone: 03 9308 1788
Visit: www.thebikeshed.com.au

About the Ride: Hot Laps are a great way for experianced roadies/racers to get some good training in, and also great for beginners and even recreational roadies. It used to be on Wednesday night, but was changed to Thursdays so as not to clash with Coburg CC ergo sessions.

National boulevard is a 1.8km circuit loacted behind the Ford Factory in Campbellfield. It is used by Coburg CC and the Northern Vets as a Criterium circuit. Its Fast, wide, smooth, well lit and safe.

The stronger guys usually get into a paceline and push hard, while those not interested in vomitting take it at their own pace. The circuit is great beacuse no one really loses contact, even if dropped.

Additional Notes: During the darker months, make sure you bring a decent set of lights. I usually have spares, pump and tools in the car so you dont have to take them if you dont want to.
