WEDS EVE ROADBIKES TRAINING HERNE HILL VELODROME - 2015/2016

[David Joss Buckley]

WEDNESDAY EVENING ROADBIKES TRAINING SESSIONS @ HERNE HILL VELODROME

Start again on OCTOBER 7th until FEBRUARY 24th 2016

They will be led by senior club members - and dates marked* will be coached by Paul Mill from Elite Cycling.

Sessions are 2 hours - 7-9 pm. You must be a current club member (no guests, sorry - 2nd claim is okay) and you must sign-on before entering the track. The surface is fine in all but the worst weather and the floodlighting makes it a great alternative to chaingangs on dark, busy roads.  In case it's not obvious road-bikes ONLY (no track-bikes) and please respect your fellow riders by using mudguards in damp conditions.

There are THREE levels:

1)  BEGINNERS / EASY - If you've never ridden on the track before you MUST attend one of these sessions first, where you will get a short induction on track etiquette, etc.  Slower / returning / recovering riders may want to take part in these sessions.  They are scheduled for each Weds following the monthly Non-Members/ Intro Rides so are recommended for new members.

2)  INTERMEDIATE - Suitable for most riders.  Groups are usually divided into different speeds. Four of the sessions will be coached

3)  ADVANCED - For current racers ONLY (ie - those holding race licences, who have competed during 2015 /16 racing season)  All six sessions will be coached.

NB - coached session dates may change.  Weather conditions - and proposed work on rebuilding the stadium - may mean late cancellation of sessions.  Senior club members running the sessions will decide.  Watch this forum, follow @dulwichparagon for info.

Many thanks to Charlie, Steve, DJB and anyone else involved with this evening's session. There were over 60 riders split into 3 groups who on occasion seemed to be riding 6 abreast but an enjoyable starter that passed without incident.

Be warned, when the evening is fine either arrive early or like me join a 15 minute queue to sign in.

[Sara Barman]

It was busy! DJB - is it ok for intermediate & speedier riders to attend the beginner sessions? (We all rocked up today but maybe shouldn't have? Esp given people more likely to be nervous)
I won't ask about racers coming to intermediate sessions (not that can of worms lol!) - as I'm sure they will anyway!

Annoyed I couldn't make this evening - will be at the next beginner one!
