Policies and Procedures.
Rain
Due to the nature of track cycling our velodrome cannot operate while the track is wet.
In the event of heavy rain prior to the start of a track session, the session will be canceled or delayed. This news will be posted on our Facebook page 30min prior to the start of the session.
In the event of rain during a session, the session will be delayed if the rain is coating the track. The session and subsequent sessions will be canceled if the rain persists.
Air Quality
Due to the nature and intensity of track cycling CBTL is unable to operate when the Air Quality become too poor. Air Quality can drop drastically in the summer due to forest fires. As such CBTL will use the Air Quality Health Index to determine whether or not it is safe to operate when smoke is present.
Thursday Night Races will be canceled if the AQHI is 6 or greater.
The track will be closed if AQHI is 8 or greater.
The CBTL Air Quality policy follows that of the ABA and our partners at The City of Calgary.
The ABA Air Quality Policy can be found here.
Extreme Heat
With record setting heat temperatures across Alberta the CBTL is following ABA heat guidelines and will be taking precautions to ensure all members are safe.
We will monitor local temperatures and decide exactly which precautions must be taken- including the cancelling of any race or training. The guidelines in the provided chart are based on the humidex or “feels like” temperature not the thermometer temperature.
