Just got back from Welwyn, a good evenings racing but it was a bit damp, chilly and a bit flinty. Wont be like that tomorrow! Best of all the weather looks awful tomorrow morning!
Was expecting 3hours of nervously getting used to a brakeless, gearless bike and working out how to get tyres to stick to wood at an unusual angle ... but the bike was great, the surface was serene and the banking turned out to be exactly what I needed to stop me spinning out on the corners. Still buzzing now
don't you dare start that again Jane :-) what a blast. So good to see so many of the club really getting into track. I reckon we have some real converts to this form.
Those are super pics, we had an olympic venue all to ourselves! Thanks to everyone who organised the morning, Lucia and I had a great time. We couldn't believe how slow walking seemed afterwards.

A big thanks to Andrew and Stef and anyone else involved in organising this - very well done.
I can add "sliding" around the track it wizzing and wheezing now.
Great fun again
might be the answer to rain
