Track time
On the day each group is allocated 6 x 20 minute riding sessions. We start with the slowest of the four groups first at 9am, and each group has 20 minutes on and 60 minutes off (subject to delays). We do not stop for lunch, however lunch is available at an additional cost for ($10 per person) if pre-booked prior to the event. The Canteen will be open throughout the day for those not wanting to pre-purchase lunch and also for snacks. Should there be insufficient numbers for four groups, the decision may be made on the day to run three groups, with each group then getting 8 x 20 minute sessions.
Group sizes
Each group has a maximum of 40 riders (plus ECRD staff) and each group is graded so that similar speeds and / or skill levels will generally share the track.
Note for racers
NOTE – Although Eastern Creek Ride Days are not intended to be a substitute ‘practice day’ for racers, race riders are welcome at any Eastern Creek Ride Day. However, the same rules and regulations apply to every rider and every rider is expected to behave accordingly. Those racers seeking clarification regarding these rules and regulations should call our office on 1300 793 423 prior to booking. Alternatively you can attend a race practice run by Eastern Creek.

What time to get to the track
It is recommended that each rider arrive at the track at least one hour before their first session, or in time for the 8.45am compulsory rider briefing, whichever comes first. This would mean that White Group (slow) should arrive at 7.45am, Yellow Group (medium/slow) should arrive at 8am, Green Group (medium/fast) should arrive at 8.15am and the Red Group (fast) should arrive no later than 8.30am.
