All riders-velodrome

[robgul]

Last call for riders people! I'll be booking in a few days!

Before you do that can you give us a recap of the list (i.e. quantity) of riders and the session time and amount of time allocated per rider etc please ... it all seemed to get a bit flaky with some of the messages back and forth

Thanks

Rob

Hokay, to reiterate:

there's 21 riders in so far

And its a two hour coached group sesh on 30th may 1-3pm.

Most people should be able to get the exact bike size they requested (they've given us what quantity of what sizes they have) and if there's not enough, say, 56's i'll go 1cm down. I'm hoping that's OK with everybody- I can't see it ruining anyone's afternoon myself. If anyone's that fussy they can use my personal bike and i'll go one smaller. If anyone has a prob. with that let me know.

Cost?

£164/track, 44.25/coach=£208.25 call it a tenner each(subject to change for more riders/drop-outs)

Bike hire £9.30

Shoe hire £4.00

That what you're after Rob?

I'll post all participants' details when this has been finalised.

I think Rob was after a list of who's coming - just so people can check they're on it when they should be etc.

I know I originally asked for 4 places but then changed it to 2 as 2 were doing a triathlon that day... just to help ensure that we actually *do* have the 21.

Of course you may hve given everything that Rob wanted and I'm talking sh*te... has been known to happen some times.

Exactly!

... and to respond to the other message - I am "track only" for cost with own shoes and own track iron.

(Also - don't waste your time getting shoe sizes for the renters - sizes that they have bear no relationship with people's sizes - just sort them out on the day - the ladies on the counter at the velodrome are very helpful)

Finally - don't forget that helmets are compulsory ... you can rent these too.

Do you know if there's any choice as to type of cleats (i.e. floaty/non-floaty)?

They just have shoes with cleats that work with the pedals - that's it! IIRC they are Red Look cleats, whichever sort they are!

Just for clarity .... the hire bikes also have the option of being fitted with toe-clip adaptors so that riders can use non-cleated shoes or trainers

I would suggest that for first time track riders, if you are not used to riding with cleated shoes then go for the toe-clip option ... to master 2 alien things for the first time : a fixed wheel bike with no brakes AND cleated shoes attached to the pedals - may be a challenge

Phew!

Any mistakes/ amendments please PM me!Now is THAT what you was after?!?


If anybody wants shoes ordering you can either give me a shout BY MONDAY 4th MAY or by turning up and asking for them. They have a good range in stock and it's not usually a problem, so I have been told.

[Will1985]

What's the "accompanied by" bit all about? Am I tied to RedBike or something? (No offence RB!)

 

[Will1985]

Cleats-wise, they are red Look Deltas. I've got 2 spare pairs of Specialized shoes size 44 and a spare set of cleats if anyone wants to borrow to save hiring shoes.

That'd be right handy for me if it's no problem for you. I wear Specialized shoes already, but use SPD cleats... but am a size 44.

Also, Fossyant seems to be on the list twice (as his username and real life alter-ego).

 

[ComedyPilot]

Room for a little one?

Will need shoes and bike.

 

[Young Un]

Can't wait.

Will, can I be cheeky and ask if you offer of a lift still stands? I'll have a chat to my Dad tomorrow and see what he says?
