COVID-19 Update: As of Dec. 26, 2020 all Town facilities are closed and recreation programming is paused as per the province-wide shutdown.
We offer drop-in cycling sessions for all certified riders aged 11 and older. View our drop-in schedule to find upcoming drop-in times. We offer two kinds of supervised sessions, drop-in and open track. Drop-ins are for steady tempo riding. Open track allows you to plan your own efforts that you communicate with the on-site coach and other riders.
Book a drop-in session (temporarity unavailable).
Spots are filled online on a first-come, first-served basis. If a session is full, you can add your name to the waitlist. When a spot becomes available, you will receive an automatic email notification.
Track certification
You must be certified to participate in drop-in and registered programs at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre. Public certifications are offered by the National Cycling Institute Milton (NCIM) or you can arrange for a private session. Once you have completed the track certification course, you will receive a Track Certification card and will be able to set up an online account.
If you are a visiting rider with track cycling experience, you may schedule an assessment for probationary certification. You must have proof that you have ridden a track of equal or greater banking within the last year. You may show a certification card from a qualifying track, race results or a letter from a Track Director. Probationary certification is lifted after three sessions and instructor endorsement.
