THE Casey Fields Criterium track in Cranbourne will host a Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) endurance event this month which is open to all to experience this unique sport.
The event is being hosted by the Casey-Cardinia HPV and Cycling Club, and is the last round of the 2016 Jet Couriers Vic HPV Series.
Participants in the event will be riding a recumbent bicycle, similar to a regular bicycle but with the rider lying down rather than sitting on the bike.
The endurance event will see teams of six to eight people from schools and community groups in the Cranbourne area, as well as many who have travelled long distances, riding for eight hours.
At any given time, the teams will have one rider on the track, putting all their training and practice to work.
With free entry for spectators and many catering options, everyone in the community is encouraged to come along and check out the action.
The HPV endurance event will begin at 10am on Saturday 8 October and will finish up at 6pm the same day.
