"Welwyn Track League - Do you want to race?
If you didn't take part in the 2014 league then you will have to be approved at a Welwyn Wheelers in-house session. However, the cluster have a special agreement whereby the coaches can deem riders to be safe & suitably track proficient to race at the WTL.
Riders wishing to participate should contact me alisonlilley@britishcycling.org.uk in advance so that I can submit a list of rider names that have been approved. PLEASE NOTE - participation in a cluster session does not guarantee your immediate approval for Welwyn track league. Some riders have waited all season before being approved whilst they became more track proficient."
You can hire track bikes there but you do need experience of riding fixed and you will need to go through an accreditation process if they dont know you. Im not entirely sure what that process is you will need to contact Welwyn for that. Alison/Richard do you know whats required this year?
If you have RACED Welwyn Track League in the last 2 years you will be automatically accredited.
If you have RACED at another Track venue in the last year you will be given probationary accredited status & able to ride Welwyn Track League
Riders who have Track experience but NOT raced track before can attend the Monday Track Race training sessions.
These Open sessions, for experienced track riders are being held twice a month. Riders will have to register their intention to be assessed when signing on. (They will be given a bib).
Assessment will be based on the individual riders competence. (Turning up for assessment on one Monday night does not necessarily mean a rider will then be deemed fit to race TL!)
The first two Monday Open Race sessions will be on Monday 13th and 27th April & thereafter on the 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month. (All other Mondays throughout the summer will be for the use of Welwyn racing members.
In preparation for the start of the Welwyn Track League, the coaching team are running Track League Races on Friday 10th & 17th April from 7pm 9pm.
This session is open to all riders who have ridden the Welwyn Track League in the last two years or so plus any other riders who have proven Track League racing experience elsewhere; Senior/Junior and Youth.
Should you need any further details/ clarification email: chair@welwynwheelers.org.uk
Hope to see some of you at Welwyn on a Friday Night

Just checking the Open Race Session is still on tomorrow night? If so what time is it?
Am I right to assume that (other than those being assessed) this will just be a general training session, largely aimed at getting everyone going again on the track after the winter?
I'm sure this info is on the website somewhere but I have failed to find it for myself, I'm afraid.
Thanks, Bryn
The session runs between 7pm and 9pm. The training session will be as you've described it.
I'll be down there, so if you have any questions come and find me.
You're right about the website, a new version is currently being constructed.
