Welwyn Track Cycling

Since joining the forum I've tried to hunt down local riders to assemble a ruff riders crew, with little fruits for my efforts.
I'm now riding at my local track in Welwyn and hoping there may be people who ride there regularly or occasionally.

Anyone?

Did you win? It's now the place to be!

Welwyns a nice track. Last raced there 5/6yrs ago.

I won a race there once, but then was disqualified from it. Last lap the bunch swings up in the back straight, I decide to sprint from the back of the bunch. Someone sees me going for it and the whole bunch closes down on me, nowhere to go but the cote d'azur at the 200m line which is a bit dodgy as that's where the gravel goes. Kept the power in even though I was riding on gravel in the turn and managed to win. Only for 10 riders to complain about me, cunts.

I know quite of few of the coaches at Welwyn, all nice guys who know their stuff. I've done a course there but never ridden it in anger.

With the track league kicking off this Friday, here's a link to the calender of events.

Roughly it goes:

**Monday **- Open Track Training session (experienced riders) 7pm - 9pm

**Wednesday **- Club member's only track training 7pm - 9pm

**Friday **- Track league 7pm - 9.30pm

**Saturday **- Developer's track session with beginner's induction on certain dates. 9am - 11am

Might come along on friday and see your track

Moving to Welwyn Garden City in September, glad to see that there are people there to ride with hopefully

I'm out. Decided to stay home to have a man come and fit a TV aerial. This might be my downfall!

George or Tom It'd be good to see either of you down the track or on the road some time.
Tom, WGC is pretty good for cycling with the track and the Chilterns aren't that far away either.

I really want to. It's probably gonna mean taking Friday afternoon off work so I can get the train out though, or even driving.

Away for the next couple of weeks anyway. Will see how work is when I get back.

jambon, ive literally just started up, doing saturday mornings (not today obv, stoopid british "summer") hoping to be in for wednesday training sessions in due course, but im already doing their weekly 10 mile TT if your a roadie too?

With starting a new job a few months back it's been hard to get along to the track, but I do the 10 series TT when I can. What bike are you riding?
I'm either on a black caad9 or a black gt pulse. Good to finally know there are a few of us kicking about on here. If you want to go to Wednesday track training given time, Monday is arguably slightly slower. How did you find the track on Saturday?
