Well that probably went better than I expected
 
Hung in quite well to finish with the bunch in the 1st scratch race and may even admit to enjoying it The bloke's not well...
 
Completely messed up the tactics in the Devil and probably went out after about 5 before me.
 
20 lap points race went off like a rocket even before the start of lap 1 A wee bit of help. Held onto the back of the string and lasted to about lap 15 before the elastic broke (and my legs spun into oblivion thanks to the light gearing on the hire bikes)
 
Learned that if the A group are doing a 40lap points race they don't do the devil that was supposed to preceed my last scratch race so whilst gabbing in track centre thinking I had plenty of time I looked up to see my group starting and that was the end of my night.
 
Excuses - Light gearing, too many young uns, still recovering from manflu and race organisers changing race schedule, £30 to race (bike and shoe hire and race entry).
 
Positives - throughly enjoyed it, did quite well in race 1, didn't crash and didn't cause one.
 
Probably won't be back until my track bike is built up RSN (Real Soon Now). as £120 a month for about 15mins racing is more than painful

Once you learn where to be and when it becomes easier
Also once you learn tell me
 

Hi all
 
went to the track night last night for the first time and I can only say that it was inspiring
 
Jets where amazing to see, so comfortable and quick round that track alot of talent out there
 
Wheelers as i dont know any names i can only say great effort and as for Colin H I think the effort that he put in last night was the most inspiring for me as i am now going to look into see if i can book Level 1
 
to see the yellow and blue flying around the track is a great experience
 
well done to all

Colin
Do you know someone on the inside?
1-4 in a month! I am sure that a bike was the prize for that!

Hi James,
 
I have booked Amy into the session on the 14th Dec at 1700. It would appear that the junior accreditation sessions are not as popular as the seniors......
 
I looked at the velodrome section on SC's web site and downloaded the accreditation leaflet. This led me to call the number and I got through right away (unlike some if you believe the hype on some other forums) and got booked relatively easily. You do have to pay by debit card there and then if you book by phone. Failing that you could go to the reception and book it that way.
 
Cheers
 
Colin.
