Track 'Hour' solo ride and group track session

Submitted by Nathan on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 19:05

On Sunday 30th October I'm doing an 'hour' solo ride at the velodrome in Newport. I'm aiming to ride 27 miles...further than I've ridden in an hour before but not an unrealistic target (I hope!).

In doing this I'm going to need some support (in order to dull the pain!) and hope some of you might want to come along to shout at me. With this in mind I've also arranged a two hour group track session for up to 16 riders. This will give you the chance to try the track yourself...previous experience is not necessary.

Date: Sunday 30th Oct
Time: 1800-1900 (Solo ride)
Time: 1900- 2100 (Group session)

Pls let me know if you can come in any capacity (spectator or rider).

There is also a Vets Track Comp taking place prior to my ride so there is plenty to watch.

I'll be posting some more detail regarding the history of this type of ride and the background to my particular ride shortly but in the meantime a quick google of 'The Hour', Chris Boardman or Graeme Obree should provide some interesting stuff.

Many thanks!
