man5e Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have booked a few accredited training sessions next week Advice please. Is it totally diy or is there generally a structure to it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Ian If it's the accredited ride sessions it is very much DIY. Numbers vary depending on time/day. Very often a pace line forms around the blue line with riders taking their turn at the front (generally 1 or 2 laps) and saying in as long as they want/can. Depends on riders of similar strength obviously. Sometimes there are groups of friends/clubmates doing Russian Steps. Equally individuals use the pursuit line for interval training then swing up an out the road to recover as any pace line passes by. Often there are sprinters practising too but essentially folk keep out of one another's road. Generally the sessions work well and are very enjoyable. If there is no-one on after your session or the numbers are low, generally no-one chases you off. Great VFM - have fun! Iain man5e 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 https://sites.google.com/site/velodromeaccreditation/home/match-logistics Hi, Ian. You may find the track rules document on the webpage above helpful (hopefully!) There are pointers on etiquette during open sessions and what's expected of riders during racing, too. There are a great many Glasgow track league riders who would benefit from 20 minutes spent reading this article followed by 20 minutes lying in a darkened room thinking about what they've read. martin, man5e and Darryl Gunson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Excellent Richard, there definitely should be a version of this for SCHV, and be made compulsory reading as part of Acreditiation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
