ere’s your chance to ride on a world-class track. You don’t need to have ridden on a track before – we have a qualified coach from the Velodrome who will take you through the basic track skills. These evenings are now a regular feature on the Club calendar and the previous ones have been much enjoyed by all.

should aim to get to the Velodrome between 7:30 and 7:45pm. This will give time
for collecting bikes, adjusting saddle height, signing on, etc. The coach will
want us all ready to start riding at 8pm. There are plenty of changing rooms
and showers for riders. Spectators are very welcome.

get there from Congleton, take A34 to Manchester and from Kingsway onwards
follow the signs for the National Cycling Centre. Cross the A6 at Levenshulme,
look out for the huge Asda supermarket, and then turn right off the dual
carriageway opposite the new Manchester City stadium. Drive round to the back
of the Velodrome and use the competitor’s entrance at car park level.
