Manchester Velodrome Taster Session Help!

[Young Un]

My mom has offered to take me to a velodrome during half-term for a taster session - Newport doesn't seem to offer much so I am looking at Manchester. The thing is I don't know if I should go on the normal taster session, or go for the one that is for school kids(9-16). Seeing as my club reckon I am going to be a track demon I am tempted to go for the first option so that I am not held back by younger/slower riders. What do you think?

16 so adults....

 

[Young Un]

I am 14 fossy?

Perhaps I could do both on the one day?

 

[Cathryn]

Go with the big boys and whip their arses.

I'm doing a taster sesh later in the year...let me know what it's like.

 

[Young Un]

Seeing as I am travelling a long way I think I am going to see if they will let me do both, and yeah Cathryn I will deffo let you know what its like.

In about three weeks - is this the youth tasters or the normal ones?

Im going to be going up one time, but my school will be sorting it out and paying i think, and taking me up thereB)
Not sure when though. If i was you i would call up and ask, see what they say. Ask for information on the school one, never know, they could all be pretty fast aswell.

Its the normal ones. Its been like this since the olympics. Not sure about the youth ones.
Its probably worth ringing them as soon as possible to try and book something.

 

[Young Un]

Going to phone up tomorrow - guessing they will be shut by now

Having been to one of the school holiday sessions I'd recommend it. You'll get good coaching and it certainly won't be 'beneath' you.

did a taster session last saturday. You wont be charging round the track at first anyway!! You'll be taught to walk first, then run.
