Penultimate Calshot Club Track Session of the winter 2nd February

Graham HurstLeave a Comment on Penultimate Calshot Club Track Session of the winter 2nd February
We only have 2 more dates booked at Calshot track this winter –
 
Sat 2nd February 13.00 – 16.00
Sat 9th March 13.00 – 16.00
 
Saturday 2nd February is the next session – if you want to ride you need to book a place before end of play on Monday 28th January to do this e-mail coachgraham@poolewheelers.com
 
All dates are now showing in the calendar on the events page
 
We will again be running these with our friends from Palmer Park Reading – this limits us to 20 riders from Poole Wheelers – per session
 
If you want to ride you MUST book a place by e-mail – coachgraham@poolewheelers.com
 
These sessions will be open to all members, and will be ideal for someone who has not ridden the track before and wants to come along and learn, but also for experienced riders.
 
The emphasis will be on learning to ride the track safely and competently in a group – yes, there will be some times when you will be required to work harder, but also times when you can have a bit of fun; after all, it will be winter then and not too many of you will still be racing. Depending on the take up, we can increase the intensity of the sessions in the New Year when some of you will be building up towards the new season.
 
Remember this is Calshot – NO big gears, 81” is ideal – I will be checking!!! (U16’s use an U14 gear).
 
If you don’t have a track bike, these can be hired at the track, cost is £10.00 for seniors and £7.50 for juniors (u18).The hire bikes are fitted with Look Keo pedals. Shoes are also available for hire at a cost of £3.50.
Pedals are not allowed to be changed on Hire Bikes
 
However we do have some club bikes so if you need one please contact me before and we will see if we have one you can borrow.
 
There are good changing / shower facilities at the track should you require these after the session.
If you have any questions about the session please e-mail coachgraham@poolewheelers.com

Track bikes can be hired from reception upon arrival.

Sessions are aimed at novice, intermediate and advanced riders.

Just turn up on the night you are available to come along.

Please wear appropriate clothing for track cycling, in particular gloves, and glasses and warm clothing, as Calshot becomes very cold during the winter months.

Each session costs £10 per rider, not including track bike and shoe hire if required, this can be booked at reception on the night.

The pedals on the track bikes are Look Keo 2. So if your riders have a different style cleat on their shoes, these will not fit. ( you know all of this, but just worth reminding people who want to come along)
