Who fancies a wee trip to the velodrome in Manchester?
I did a bit of research on the website and found out the following.....
There are track taster sessions available at these times...
Saturday 5:00 - 6:00pm
"**Taster Sessions - ** An introductory session for beginners. You will be riding with up to 15 (14 for a schools session) other riders on the track at the same time, for one hour’s duration. You will be given a set of skills to learn by the coach and each rider will be provided with a bike and helmet. The **Taster **sessions are great fun and are one of the most popular track sessions provided, so whether you want to be the next Sir Chris Hoy or Victoria Pendleton, or just curious to see what it’s like to ride round a banked cycle track, this is the session for you. Bring some friends or family for an experience you will never forget."
The basic cost is £9.80 per person which includes bike and helmet.
Another option would be to rent the track for an hour or a couple of hours, cost for this would be £88 per hour.
What's the general consensus? Would anyone definitely be up for this at some point soon?
