Womens Track Training: Herne Hill Sundays 4pm(Weekly from May 1st)

1. Haven't yet found time to get down there but have considered it
   
2. Things that put me off a bit include raw terror, being fairly porky and lazy, and not really knowing what to expect - not sure what you guys could really do about that, tbh
   
   
   

I'm fairly porky and lazy and also didn't really know what to expect and was more than a little apprehensive but I had an AWESOME time at the one session I've done so far and am really looking forward to spring to getting into it seriously/regularly.

As for what to expect, well, I guess expect a few laps of warming up to get used to the track and track bikes and then the coaches take you through various exercises and drills (not sure if that's the right term) about how to move up and down from the lead of the team to the back, various racing styles, how to ride in a group and sit on someone's wheel - a good all round intro to track cycling in a really friendly, supportive atmosphere but with just enough pressure to push yourself on and managae a bit more than you thought you were capable of. That was my experience at any rate.

I'm also guessing it's a pretty good workout so an ace way to keep in shape too!
