We are back for 2022 and have enlisted the help of Brenton Jones as head coach. The Training Squad trains on Mondays and Thursdays at the Hawthorn velodrome, Reserve Road, Hawthorn. Summer season training is held on the outdoor velodrome and starts at 6.00 pm.

Junior training is open to juniors from all clubs and not just Hawthorn members. You just need a Cycling Australia membership. Note that new riders are welcome to come and try and participate without a membership.

For 2022 Mondays and Thursday sessions are on road racing bikes. We are taking a small break from Thursday track training while we kick start the programs.

Riders can also participate in our Personal Coaching Program. This will entail:

Individual training programs set by a qualified club coach

• Goal setting

• Results analysis

• Fortnightly catch ups to discuss progress, training program refinement and racing plans

• Skills development e.g. sprinting, cornering, descending.

Additional to the program, we partner specialists who undertake professional bike set up, mechanical repairs, physiological and power testing for riders.
