Covid Level 2 (Delta)
Some track sessions will return from 13 September. Please note that there are strict number limits in place for sessions, and only riders and coaches will be allowed in the venue. Riders and coaches are not allowed to enter the venue before the designated start time of their session, and have to be out of the building by the designated end time of the session, in order to ensure that the venue does not exceed the 50 person limit. We share the space with numerous other sports, so we have to take all of the other users into account.
Full details of the Level 2 requirements are included in the online waiver when registering for a session, and on the front page of the Cycling Southland website.
