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.
Nearest station/tube: Stratford / Stratford International
Lee Valley VeloPark is a 20 minute walk from both stations.
Stratford station is served by:
Underground: Jubilee and Central Lines Docklands Light Railway (DLR) National rail: Abellio Greater Anglia for services to Liverpool Street and Essex and East Anglia London Overground services Stratford International station is served by:

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.
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.
another great session, really enjoyed today, especially the formation/stacking exercises. good to see so many there and really getting stuck in. all down to andrew getting us the track time - thanks. will definitely be there for the next one.

Thanks,

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
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.

Dad had a go at taking a few photos but insists it's harder than it looks so there were few worth sharing
