Out yes, but not really out out....
I went out to Manchester to do 20 or so laps of the velodrome as part of my taster session. This was the second time I have been on a track so it was easier and more natural than the first time. The group was mixed abilities with some people not being able to get off of the infield, while others got up to the black line without any bother.
It is strange how after only 20 laps, or about 3 miles, how knackered you feel!
After the session there were riders doing some more advance track work.....nah, they were taking it far too seriously for me so when I go again, I'll simply go for the ride rather than trying to get a licence.
Its a shame that there isn't an indoor track in Birmingham or the West Midlands as getting to Manchester is a bit of a pain. Yes, I know there is a track in Derby, but it seemed not to have thought about putting on Taster Sessions over Christmas: the Manchester ones were sold out!
