We have booked our annual PPYCC club trip up to Lee Valley Velodrome, that’s the Olympic one in London if you’ve not been before! The session will be on Saturday 3rd August from 16:00 to 18:00 and will be led by PPYCC’s own British Cycling Track coaches who are experienced in coaching at Lee Valley. We understand that some members may be on holiday which isn’t ideal, we did try to get a September date but demand was really high for this round of club slots, so we took what we could!
Booking is now open to all PPYCC members aged 10 and over, please email secretary@ppycc.org.uk to book your place, you will then receive a payment link. We have 24 places available so it’s first come, first served.
Lee Valley is a world-class indoor track that is exhilarating to ride on and always a memorable experience. We will have the whole track to ourselves for the 2 hours so will get maximum riding time. We anticipate splitting into two groups for novices and experienced riders so there will be something for everyone.
The cost will be £20 which will just cover the venue costs, this is not a profit making event. You’ll need to organise your own transport to the velodrome and back (car sharing is of course encouraged). Riders must be aged 10+. Riders aged 10-11 will need to bring a track bike with them (we have a number of small track bikes at Preston Park we can loan out) while riders aged 12 and above can hire a bike from the venue if needed (track bike with helmet £13, shoes £9, gloves £4).
We are happy to take competent riders who have never ridden track before, but you will get more out of the session if you have done your track accreditation at Preston Park, and better still, raced at SCRL on Wednesdays.
For those bringing their own track bike or a loan bike, there are a few venue instructions for bike setup and preparation which we will distribute in advance to all attendees.
Please book asap to ensure you get a place! 😃🚴🚴
