Herne Hill Saturday Training

Yeah, new inductees now can go straight into the Novice training session 12-45-2. There's a good mix of skills and fitness riding in the session but at a slightly more relaxed pace than the intermediate session.

This Novice session is aimed at people who aren't particularly fussed about learning to race in the track league and instead just want a good quality ride. Don't feel compelled to ride in the faster intermediate session just because you've been before. You'll learn and improve more riding with people in a focused session, rather than hanging off the back of the intermediates.

I turned up at the novice (12.45) one on Saturday and they told me that was only for people that had just done the induction and that I should do the morning one...
Anyway, I'm going to give the intermediate one a go, I'm hopefully a bit fitter than I was last year so maybe it won't be too bad. Also it will be nice to ride without some of the more erratic riders from the induction (only just missed being taken out in one of the worse accidents last year).
