hi
if you join VCL.ive had same probs with changing bike setup gears, wheels etc as it my first season, the lock up spaces must be insured?
saturday sessions are good for me, so when i get there i prefer to get on the track asap

You don't have to join VCL to store your bike there. You can just pay them £30 and lock your bike in one of the containers. Talk to Corinne or Dave (the people who take your money when you sign in).

And no, the lock-up spaces aren't insured. You lock up your bikes!

Don't know if you've a bike in mind already, but they also hire out Fuji's for £35 per season. A mate's got one and he loves it. It took him a couple of sessions, but now he thinks its set up just right for him (better than having to try to setup one of the freebie bikes every time)

Thanks but I've got a Gazelle with undrillable forks, so I might as well use it, plus I'm running out of space to store it at home.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
