That was way easier/safer than it looks but dammed hard on the legs. The changes are really cool once you get the hang of them. about 30 riders pitched up for a run through how to change, a paced deny session to practise changes in a group. and then a 30 lap race (i only finished 2 laps down).
Brian Smart says any youngsters who want to try track racing need to go to the track on any Sunday morning 9.30 - 12 with bike, helmet and £3 and they can learn the rules and safety aspects and get accredited. This is the same time as the Halesowen youngsters are there so is an ideal opportunity to try the track out. For parents the refreshment hut is open!
