Preston track league runs every Wednesday from the start of May. Yes it is very similar to Paddington. When not used as a track it was used as a park area. Sometimes in the past an unleashed dogs would add excitement. The track is ‘D’ shaped with its only banking going into the home straight. Hitting the banking at speed for the first time could cause the unwary to steer across the banking towards the then unfenced top of the banking. Looking down at a duck pond from a great height you did only once! The track has been revamped and being well supported by local clubs. Some London riders make the trip down to compete at their weekend open meetings.
