Herne Hill Saturday Training

Among other reasons, I'm doing the track pathway as a way of getting experiance of group riding before I go out with a club.

There's no assumptions. Only that people should already be proficient at actually riding a bicycle.

Which is why Mondays have the fast track induction for those who already have improved skills. Eg, from road racing.

Anyone can book a private session too. More expensive but better quality than a public session.

That sounds fair

I found colin's original response harsh in comparison to the much friendlier attitude I'd found at the track itself and wanted to assert that I had heard the same as wildmaurice (re mondays) from a more reliable-sounding source than a "nice old man".

Personally, I'm a big fan of the pathway system, which is why I'm sticking to it. It's very good fun so far, and the learning curve seems to be about right.
