So far we have booked 10th September 2015 8-10pm hopefully with more sessions to follow and coached by Paul West (thanks Paul). Let me know by email, stevemarlow@weavervalleycc.org.uk, if you can come along (even if you have your own bike) or if you need a hire bike booking.
Arrive at the Velodrome by 7.30pm in plenty of time to sort out hire bikes and payment. In my absence Nick Butterworth will be up on the track when the session starts at 8pm. Please email me if you intend to ride or invite friends along. If you are booked on the session and then can’t make it, let me know a week before at the latest. Anyone booked on a session who doesn’t turn up without letting me know will not be able to book on future sessions.
We will be charging £10 a head for members, £15 for non members and £5 for under 18s – track hire is £300 which has increased from our last booking and want to cover the cost if possible. For general advice see http://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/tr … formation/
Anyone who doesn’t have a track bike meeting the Velodrome’s requirements will have to hire one seehttp://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/track/prices/ and let me know a week before hand (by email) so I can book them all. You will have to pay at reception on the night. In addition to a Velodrome approved track bike, you will need a cycling helmet, suitable shoes, track mitts and something to drink.
Important Hire Bike information:
The Velodrome’s bikes are fitted with Look style Delta pedals (the fitting & use of other pedals is not permitted). Riders with alternative shoes/plates can either hire shoes from our reception or use toe-clip style adapters. Toe-clip style adapters can be used with training shoes.
Look Keo cleats on riders own shoes cannot be used.
As a rough guide, bike frame sizes should be determined as inside leg measurement less 10 inches
