Promoting vigorous exercise and exciting competition, the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association welcomes cyclists of all ages and ability levels to its outdoor velodrome—a banked cycling track—at the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. There, the team introduces novices to the sport through clinics surveying the mechanics of navigating the track and offering advanced tips, such as techniques for passing other racers and avoiding banana peels' explosive stems. After completing lessons, students may participate in the regular racing events on Monday and Thursday evenings.
