  • Bryn - that's fine, see you there.

    1 or 2 places left i think.
  • Not having been to the track before, do we need to get there before 12 to book in, get bike and shoes sorted etc or does that all get done as part of the 12-3pm slot? Just trying to figure out which train to get tomorrow.

  • We have track time from 12 till 3 so best to get there for 11.30 to get bikes and stuff sorted.
  • Forgive me for possibly a stupid question, but what's the nearest tube/overgrown station or the best way to get there from the kings cross line?

    I can't see any 'how to get here' section on the website...
  • plan your visit

    By rail

  • MC - shame you cant make it, enjoy your Christmas shopping!
  • Things to remember.... helmet, shoes, bike (unless you are hiring), gloves, kit- shorts/jersey/arm warmers maybe, and something to pull on to keep warm when you are not riding
    water bottle, energy bar/snack, money, camera.
  • Running late. A1 come to a complete standstill
  • I am at a loss as to how it has taken me until today, which is over 27 years of riding for cycling clubs, to realise that this form of cyclesport is so much fun.
    Wow - I am proper buzzing after this afternoon!

    Thank you to Andrew & Stef for arranging today. Put my name down for the next session.

  • I would like to thank Andrew and Stef for such a fun day. I will definitely be looking forward to the next sessions.

    Thanks,

    Vicky
  • Awesome :)

    Last time was a revelation for me, about just how good a bike can feel on a perfect surface

    This time was more brilliant, for the added thrill of moving around and within a group. Thanks everyone
  • Brilliant day out! loved it!

    Stef- all paid up as well but not sure I inserted the reference properly. It might just come out as CCA….

    Thanks again for organising.
