Manchester Velodrome.

[colly]

Who fancies another session on the track?
Names please.
It's £206/hour midweek and 2 hours makes it worthwhile. Maximum of 16 riders. Weekend bookings are £266/hourand would add £7.50pp to the bill.
So it will be just over £33 each if we have a full house. Shoes if needed are an extra £5.60.

There are some 2 hour slots early December both midweek and weekends but they wont be available for long l think.

So speak up asap

A screen capture of dates available in November and December. Bare in mind I got this yesterday and if we are to bag a suitable slot we will need to do it fast and even if we do it might well have gone by the time I get back to them.

For me a late night slot 8pm to 10pm wouldn't be a problem but it could be for others. Not a lot of choice tbh.

I can see what available in January as well if you like. If it's available yet that is.

Edit:

@I like Skol

You are in then Danny?

 

[DCLane]

Could do, depending upon the day. I've a couple of wheels I need to test before using them for racing.

 

[Bazzer]

I would be up for a weekend slot.
I had been making enquires about another group session and was waiting to hear back from the velodrome after clarifying with them a couple of points.
I could also mention it to my son in law and a work colleague who missed last year's session through a holiday.

 

[dan_bo]

You are in then Danny?

Well aye. With all the usual timing provisos.

 

[I like Skol]

I'll say yes if it fits in with shifts and family stuff

 

[DCLane]

There's also a group session being organised at Derby, but for accredited riders only.

Pettitts (City of Stoke) organise 4 hour sessions (beginner / intermediate / advanced) on a regular basis. The first of their three autumn ones is this Saturday, then one on 16th November and in December if we can't get a CycleChat session. I've got details I can send via PM if needed.

 

[nickyboy]

yeeeeeeessssssssss.............

Weekend best for me

 

[Kestevan]

Quite possibly, and theres a few mates that may be interested.
Depends on date/time.

Weekends would be best

 

[colly]

So it looks like, all being well, we can guarantee 7 or 8 depending on the final dates. But looking at the times I think getting a session that suits everyone before the New Year will be tricky, what with Christmas etc.
SO... I have just received the lists for January and February which I've posted below. For me an early January session would be best say Sat 11th or Sun 12th.
We should all have time to plan and make arrangements.

As before the slots will fill up fast so speak up as soon as you like .......

 

[DCLane]

Saturday 11th preferred as I'm likely to have an SQT session there 6-8pm on the Sunday. And there's no way I'm doing more riding after that.

 

[nickyboy]

I should be ok then. Need to make sure we don't clash with a City home game if we go for a weekend afternoon as traffic will be chaotic

 

[I like Skol]

Sat 11th Jan works for me

Can we have a medal for the winner this time?

 

[Kestevan]

11th should be OK for me.
I'll check with my mates and let you know numbers ASAP.

Edit - +2 others (@Steve H and Dave who joined us last time)... may be one or two more yet to come.
