Olympic Velodrome again

The refreshing alternative to Christmas Shopping.

December 20th, 9:00am - 12:00. Yes, in the morning.

Answers to FAQs

    You do not have to have had any track experience.
    You do not need to be a BC member
    You do need to be a club member and to have fulfilled your marshalling duties.


Other stuff:
    Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the session. Last time we had 20+ people standing around for 15, very expensive minutes waiting for everyone to be ready for the safety briefing.
    Please give 2 weeks notice if you intend to drop out. There is a big demand for this facility and we have to pay for everything up front. Ideally find someone to take your spot.
    Please listen to the coach and please avoid scaring the cr*p out of the general secretary by passing on the right when he's cooked and wants to get on the front.


If you're interested then please mail general@addiscombe.org giving:
- Your height in cm
- If you need shoes, your euro shoe size (the bikes take Look Keo)
- An idea of your track experience

Expected cost is around £30 a head - which is a bargain compared with the normal sessions.

I have my own track bike, so wouldn't need bike hire. Does that drop the price?

For instructional purposes only, here's a little demo of how to share the work in a pair to gain distance on the bunch (yes we made the lap eventually).

Still got a few places left. Ride in the winter, in the warm, with no traffic.

Well, these are the names as at the deadline. If you're on the list and haven't had an email then either I have the wrong address for you or your spam filter snagged it and I shouldn't be flogging male enhancement products as a sideline to my club work.
