A big session today at Bournemouth velodrome has been cancelled because their track (with the same surface as ours) won't dry out in time. It hasn't even rained.
wondered if you were anyhere near the track sat? I was.gutted becasue I was there for the session. did ride for fun at 12.30 but that was long after the sessions had been binned
sat was loads of condensation from mist, no one is going to risk sending groups onto slippery lines, (lines an issue in themselves!)
were finding that the track dosent dry out in these cold temps, and strangely that as its porous tarmac, theres the very real chance that its staying wet from underneath- if its pissed down on the exterior slopes all night/ days before then moisture can stay clos to the surface from underneath.
one of our expert builder/ trackies reckons they needed to have put down an impermeable membrane before laying tarmac, guv.
what are HH findin issues are so far?
