North London Velodrome

OK, so we don't have one, but I just did an impromptu pursuit sprint against a colleague round Percy Circus. Possibly the most demanding circuit I have ever found. Fixie vs Moulton; Moulton 1, Fixie 0. Love to try it in a pack.

Heh, that looks hilarious. Was it pretty quiet?

East North East of that is a dead-end circular track... no road name on Google Maps for it though.

ha, imagine a post-pub night-time sesh!

See you there!

(what night?)

Quiet apart from the drunken heckler hanging out on a park bench... It's on quite a slope, has a bad camber and lots of potholes, so - fun.

I imagine it is off comaber, is it so? May poke my head around the corner on my way home. :)

Welwyn velodrome is a velodrome in North London (ish).

That looks like it could be fun...

Yeah, count me in.

Welwyn is less than half an hour by train from central London (Kings Cross, Old Street, Highbury and Islington, Finsbury Park) and velodrome is a 15 min walk or 5 min ride from the station.....so easily accessible to North Londoners.....

herne hill is 25 minutes from kentish town with the thameslink/first capital connect, when they're not doing work on the line, which seems to be most weekends lately.

looking at welvyn, it shouldn't be hard to reproduce that type of track around the parliament hill athletics track, with money and approval from the local population of course. plenty of school around there that could use it. and - a definite clincher - it's got 'hill' in the name, so half way there.

or a grass track league on the tufnell park grass field
