Accreditation at Sundrive
Gaining accreditation ensures that riders have the basic level of skill required to participate, safely, in training sessions. Riders are required to participate in at least one further full training session subsequent to the accreditation session in order for the coaches to assess their ability. Should the rider attain the required skills standard they will be ‘signed off’ and added to the list of Track Accredited riders. Once the rider is on that list they will be allowed to partake in competition subject to having the appropriate Cycling Ireland license
- Sign Up and Pay for Track Accreditation
- All sessions limited to 16 max and two ticket types available Senior 15€, Youth 7€ including Bike Hire
