To add to that bring a helmet if you don't usually use one - do they supply them? It's compulsory on the track.

There has to be a cloud to every silver lining!!

Yep, I agree, the only time I use a helmet is in these such occasions!

Can you not get a skull and cross bones themed one?

Sorry both the ones I own are boring. Yellow race one and a grey one with a visor

Can my friend Mark come too please? He's very nice and pretty speedy!

Speedy Mark will be on the list when I can edit the first post.

Y'know these hire bikes... are they like - fixies or can you have an SS / bring your own bike?

Ooh! There seems no good excuse not to give this a whirl, if there are still places.

Apologies in advance for being the slowest/least competitive.

I'll see if Butterfly wants a go too.

Hire bikes are fixed, you can use your own but it will have to be fixed and you will have to remove the brakes. Thats why they are fixed

Shall I be adding you to the list Ant?

9 spaces left if you take up the option.

Hmmm, let me have a think about it Steve... I tried fixed for a cpl of weeks and found it weird. The prospect of going round a track with 29 others and no brakes scares me a little

Will keep an eye on the thread

Butterfly's too knackered tonight to think about such things. My son is interested, if that will be OK. He's 15, but he's ridden track a good few times before.

 

[clarion]

Is that going to be OK then? Are we in?

Give it a go Ant. It's a lot easier riding fixed on a track than on the roads.

Everyone moves at the same speed and slows down slowly together. We didn't have any problems last time although there were fewer of us then.

It will be my 1st time riding fixed too!
