Velodrome 27th September, Final numbers, Bikes etc

Andrew R

I have not organised bike hire as a club this session so for those needing equipment hire then please arrange with the VeloPark on the day and pay them directly.

Payment for the session and coaching will be made to the club, I will post the amount shortly.

Could you please confirm that you will be joining us on the doodle link here so that we can give the chance to others to take your place if you are unable to make it

If you are hiring a bike and/or shoes below is their guide to bike sizing. And please read their comments on pedals/cleats below to see if you need to hire shoes - you can bring your own shoes/cleats but not your own pedals. They use LOOK KEO pedals.
Bike hire costs £10 per person, and shoe hire £6 per person. You can also hire helmets though I assume everyone will bring their own.

"Shoes: You can wear normal trainers for track sessions or if you wish to bring your own cleats we use Look Keo pedals so Look Keo cleats can be worn. Please note that other makes are not necessarily compatible – even if they say that they are. You may not bring your own pedals for use on our hire bikes."

RIDER HEIGHT Frame Size
145-159 43
150-169 46
161-168 49
169-175 52
176-185 55
186-193 58

if you are bringing your own bike then note their regulations, although we've never had any problems in the past

Hi Andrew,

I'm going to be away with work so can't make it but Archie will be there. I've confirmed him on the poll but couldn't see how to answer that I can't? I've just left it as a question mark.

Anyway, obviously I'll pay my share if there's no-one to take my place. I'm gutted to miss it.

Ah - the flaw in my plan Iain

I'll add another column for those who can't make it
