Thanks for the reply, Showing my ignorance here.. you don't need your own bike?

[Paul R]

Paul

Can you confirm it is 0900 to 1100 on the 29th?  Just so I can book some time off.

[Andy H]

Chris, there are specific bikes for the indoor track.
Single fixed gear, so majority of people have to hire one there.
The fixed gear takes a little bit of getting used to, have to keep pedalling at all times!
Don’t worry though the coaches sort you out pretty quickly

[Paul Nicholas]

Big thanks to everyone who's showed an interest so far!

I can confirm the booking for the 29.12.2017 9am-11am

Paul R you're welcome to join in look forward to seeing you there! If there is anyone else interested in having a go by all means just post to say you're interested you are more than welcome to come along. It's worth a visit just to check the track out and have a ride on the same boards that the British Cycling Track team use to train on. You don't really get a sense of it when it's on the telly!

The club have taken care of the track and a coach hire us. If you don't have a track bike you will need to hire one when you get there the hire costs £10.50

For those of you who have not been before the coach will be there to help you get to grips with cycling around the track and answer any questions that you have, it's a great opportunity to have an introduction to track cycling the coaches are really helpful. We will probably have 2 groups on the day one for beginners and one for those with some experience.

Any questions just ask.
