i treated myself to a session at Newport Velodrome for my birthday and it was the most fun i've had ever. The coach was totally awesome as he saw me watching eagerly and then came over and told me to get on the track and I was quite nervous and all 'errrrr I haven't had an induction' to which he replied 'go get a bike'. woo!
He then proceeded to order the 12 men on their swish track bikes up above the blue so that 'the lady' could ride around on the black for a bit (cringe) and despite the fact that I was totally bottling it up at the top corners- by the end of the sessiowe were whizzing around in a group which was a laugh. I'm sure I was pretty terrible at it but it was amazing fun!
If anyone is heading up newport way to go to the velodrome anytime soon....can i have a lift please? :D
