Come and pin on a race number and experience the thrill of club racing, regardless of your age or experience. Riders from all clubs are most welcome to come and race with us.
From 4 year old’s on balance bikes, to school kids, young adults, and middle-aged mums and dads (reliving their youth), right up to national champions, we’ve got a race for you!
Car-free
Safety is paramount, as such all of our racing is conducted on car-free circuits and is a fabulous way to develop bike skills, confidence and fitness.
Weekly racing
Neo hosts both Track (Oct-Mar) and Road (Apr-Sep) events for both juniors and adults on most Sunday afternoons throughout the year as well as a Club Championship.
Throughout the season we also support our members who attend racing hosted by other clubs, as well as the NSW Metropolitan Championships, NSW State Championships and National Championships.

Road Racing for Beginners
Beginners of all ages are welcome to come along and give it a try.
Junior Skills
Kids attending Neo should be able to ride a bike by themselves, without the support of an adult or training wheels.
It is ok for them to struggle a little with mounting and dismounting as these are skills which will be taught and developed. They should at a minimum be able to use the brakes, ride holding their bike in a straight line.
Kids on training wheels and kids who need an adult to support them are encouraged to contact Kids on Bikes to transition them to ride independently before attending Neo.
They can race on whatever bike they’ve got – BMX, mountain bike, hybrid, or road bike. -Also don’t forget to try our midweek training sessions to sharpen their skills.
Resist the urge to buy a new bike until you speak with our Head Coach (Dacchi Dang) or our Mechanic (Ian Watson), as they can give you the best advice on what type bike and sizing to get.
Juniors starting out are encouraged to come and try racing at Neo Juniors from 2pm.
Adult Skills
Adults should be able to ride a road bike and be comfortable riding with cleats and able to reach for a water bottle while riding. Let us know if you are not great at this. We’ll be happy to get you up to speed at our midweek training.
Adults starting out are encouraged to come and try Neo Crits from 3pm. Division 4 is only a 30 minute ride (25 mins + 1 lap) at a fairly easy pace.
Track Racing
(October to March)
Our Track Races are run at Lidcombe Oval on a slightly banked, outdoor 426m velodrome. -The banking is so slight that any newbie can learn on this track.
The track was resurfaced in 2014. It was considered one of the smoothest outdoor tracks in NSW, and is still holding up pretty well. It has plenty of space making it very safe for new riders to develop.
Neo Track
We run a Sunday afternoon Club Points Series for the Track Racing Season (October – March).
Neo run seven grades:
- Juniors – Three grades
- Seniors – Four grades
Venue
Our track races are run at Lidcombe Oval. Velodromes are perfect for juniors as they are always car free.
Lidcombe Oval is a great place to start out in track for both young and old. -You can knock over the basics before venturing on to a banked track.
Track Racing for Beginners
Beginners of all ages are welcome to come along and give it a try.
From balance bikes… 
…to flatbars and roadies.
Learn track bikes when you’re young… 
…or when you’re a young mum.
