The Veldrome isn’t just for elite athletes! Although it will become the home to Scottish Cycling, anyone can take the opportunity to enjoy cycling and ride the track. But it’s not just a case of turning up with your mountain bike and cycle clips and off you go- there is a specialist type of indoor bike you’ll need along with a helmet and pedals. Luckily we have all the equipment that you’ll need to come along and have a go!

 We run introductory sessions that enable you to come along and ride the track under the supervision and guidance of a qualified and experienced instructor.

Constructed by world renowned designer, Ralph Schuermann, the track is made from Siberian pineand has capacity for 2000 spectators, with room for a further 2000 temporary seats during major events. It will host amongst other events, the first round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup on November 16th -18th 2012 and the UCI Junior Track World Championships in August 2013.

As well as our introductory sessions, if you fancy taking cycling a little more seriously and making it a part of your fitness regime, or you've always fancied joining a team then we have a four stage accreditation process to go through after which you will be able to enjoy a range of different sessions from endurance and sprint training to Derny and track leagues. 

​​If you’ve already achieved accreditation in one of Britain’s other four Velodromes then we will accept official notices of accreditation.
