What do you need?

To start off with you can ride any ordinary bike. To ride you have to wear a helmet, a long sleeve shirt, full finger gloves, long pants and closed in shoes.  For riders 7 years and under, it is compulsory to wear Knee and Elbow Pads. For all other riders it's not compulsory but it is reccommended.  Even in the hot summer nights you need to make sure you wear long sleeves and pants to protect yourselves. Gloves are also very important as your hands are the first thing you put out if you fall.

At some point you may want to look at buying a race bike, full face helmet, and race clothing. A fullface helmet is a very imporrtant piece of protection, and should be one of the first items on your list.

Talk to Club members if you are unsure of what sort of bike, helmet, etc you need. There is always a Club member that can help you or get you to talk to the right person. The Club and facebook page is often a good way to find secondhand equipment.
