Sorry for the radio silence on this I have been trying to get a couple of dates confirmed that fell through.
Hi all! The Club has kindly offered to subsidise the cost of a trip to the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome in Newport, covering the cost of the Track hire, Bikes and coach. I've got a confirmed date for Sunday 22nd January 15:00 – 17:00. You will have to organise your own travel and also bring Gloves, Shoes with Look Cleats (There is shoe hire available I am going to check if it's included in the bike hire), Helmet, and wear a jersey that covers your shoulders. You can bring a towel (it can get quite hot), and something to drink or eat in between each session. You can take your sunglasses too.
We have organised a couple of trips in the past which everyone has enjoyed, it is a great opportunity to ride the same boards as many of our top cyclists and Olympic champions. As we have not been for a long time we will book the session for beginners so you will not need any prior experience of track cycling making this a perfect opportunity to have a go at something new.
It will be suitable for all levels of cyclists in the club: Sunday Social, Chasers and Pacers, the coach on the day will be able to split us up based on ability so you will always be riding in a comfortable group. If you would like to attend please let me know by replying to this post.
Also feel free to ask any questions!
