Errrmm my one question has to be will there be a bike to fit me??

I know they have 58cm but next time I speak to them I will ask.

 

[stevevw]

There are no hills either. "You're out!"

There is a hill at each end and a bit of a slope in the middle.

Cheers. Let me know how big they go cos I don't think a 58cm will cut it.

Biggest I've seen is 61cm.

Ok time now confirmed as 12 - 2pm Sunday 2nd October. I have booked two coach's (the training type not the transport type) so we can have 30 riders. Still waiting to hear if they have a giant bike for Martin.

Martin they have a 61cm and say as long as you are under 6' 8" it will fit. I have also checked that they will have enough bikes for all 30 riders.

 

[HaloJ]

Superb! Looking forward to it.

Cheers Steve!!

Do I need to bring anything? Only been to a track once and that was nearly 20 years ago and I used a mate's bike with clips.

 

[redjedi]

Bring your clipless pedals and shoes (obviously they'll be attached to your bike anyway) as their bikes come fitted with toe cages, which I hated.

There'll probably be numerous pedal spanners and allen keys floating around (inc. mine) for the removal and fitting.

Also a bottle or two of rehydration fluids of your choice (only a tap available there last year unless they've improved the facilities as well).

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