Club Track Hire
« on: December 28, 2016, 04:21:47 PM »
I have mentioned this at a club night a good couple of months back but if there are enough numbers I would like to try and organise a private session for the club at the Velodrome in Newport. This would be the best way for anyone interested in track cycling to get into it as you will have all the basics covered in this session and depending on how you got on you might be able to attend some drop in sessions in preparation for your track accreditation.
Could you please post your interest below, and if we have enough numbers I'll take a look at what dates are available.

Thanks for showing interest everyone, we're going to need at least 10 - 15 riders to make it affordable though. Be good to have a couple more of you join us. I really enjoyed going to Newport last year and would never have thought riding around in circles could be so much fun. The sessions can cater a variety of fitness levels and ages, and it's more social than any other form of cycling as you have chance to have a talk when you're waiting to go back out in between exercises.

If we do the taster session we won't be smashing it around the track it will be more focussed on learning about how the track works and getting used to riding on the bank, with perhaps a couple of laps riding as a group and taking turns on the front at the end of the session. A lot of clubs regularly use the facility (I was sharing some track time with Cwmcarn tonight) and it would be great to see some OVW jerseys going round.

I'll join in too to help with the numbers but again dependent on timing and getting time off work.
