Saturday June 21 is marked in my diary as the Longest Day
If any of you would like to try track racing, just ride the track to get some additional leg speed for road race sprints or even sprints for the Charlwood sign then why not come down to Herne Hill.
I shall be at the weekly induction session on Saturday 21 June if you would like to come along. There are bikes for hire, so just bring your pedals and helmet. Details are:
Stage 1 Induction 09:00 to 10:30 All abilities catered for as long as you can ride a bike! Please arrive by 8:45 to be ready to start at 9.00.
Please note that once the induction session has commenced, it is not possible for latecomers to join in.
Stage 2 Novice & Youth 09:00 to 10:30 Gentle riding & races for the young & the less fit.
Stage 3 Skills Training 10:30 to 11:45 Bunch riding, skills training & taking part in training races.
Stage 4 Fitness Training 11:45 to 13:00 Training races & exercises to improve speed & fitness.
Experienced riders generally take part in both stages 3 & 4. However, ALL riders who have never attended Herne Hill training sessions MUST do the Stage 1 Induction before progressing to the other stages. For most experienced riders this should be an easy reminder of track etiquette, along with other aspects that can differ between tracks.
