The closure of the Meadowbank Velodrome appears to be as widely reported as it is wrong. Edinburgh RC have been running the velodrome for two years. People visiting Edinburgh over the summer are welcome to come and ride the track. It could be a welcome break from the festival.

If you wish to make a booking please use the form at
http://www.edinburghrc.co.uk/track/meadowbank-booking

The club runs a range of taster and improvers sessions coached by BC accredited coaches, as well as rider led drop ins (BC membership and accreditation is required). For further details look at http://www.facebook.com/erctrack or check the on-line calendar.

If you have request for a group or special booking then contact us by filling in the form on the above web page or by Facebook message.

Yes, the velodrome will be closing, but not just yet, and no, there is no roof . . . .
Hope to see you soon.

Can I just say, I rode here ages ago as part of a taster session and it was ace, the coaches are superb and will keep you right, great intro to Track Cycling and nice steep banking!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
