Lee Valley VeloPark - taster sessions!

Should be fine. I wore my own shoes with Keo cleats.

Nice one, thanks. Will have to trawl this section of the forum for tips on how to ride on the track...

You're probably better off listening to the coaches. That's the point of the taster session. :)

But I thought all I'd ever need to know was available through the forum? Although I never did find that inverse shim....

Yeah don't mind him, get all your info from the forum.

On your taster session, make sure you do loads of skids coming down from the top of the banking, to impress the coaches.

Wow. L2/L3 track skills a little over subscribed!

yep! Don't think there are even any L3 accreditation sessions this year either.

Was planning to stage 3 in January anyway, but was hoping for 2-3 skills sessions before then! Looks like this is going to take much longer than I anticipated.

Loads of extra Skills sessions just been released.

Strange, does that mean someone has block-cancelled? I'm sure those times/dates were there previously...

They were, though no idea how the system works.
Payday is tomorrow though...

I thought that but checked and the bookings I made for November are still there on those dates. The only thing i can think of is that they are going to run two groups taking it in turns on the track like I have seen them do for the youth groups.

Just got an email and they are opening it up to 32 riders instead of 16

^ lame. I've paid for two sessions in November. Half the track time at the same price.

To be fair, in the level 2-3 sessions that I did a couple of months ago we did have a significant amount of time off-track between drills to recover. Not 50:50 on:off as it is in SQTs, but still maybe 60:40...of course, SQTs do cost less.

12th and 26th Nov booked in.

See you there, I booked those too (along with someone else from my club)!

I'm on the Wednesday the 5th and 19th November sessions, if anyone else here is on them?

.

@keanulooser OK I'll see you there on the 19th. Will keep an eye out. I'm just on a hire bike.

Is your real name Keanu ??

Black Rolla CC top and forum cap under a blue helmet, small hire bike.... will look like I've been up since 5AM and hopefully the caffeine will have kicked in.

I booked the L2+3 skills for 17th December as well.

I imagine the last remaining SQT sessions would have been taken by the time I get my L4 (if I pass!), and there isnt anything remaining for early / mid December anyway.
