Track Cycling

Saturday 18th June 2005

Track Cycling “come and try day” organised by Helen Shulver in conjunction with Stevenage CC. 

10 members of FVS TRI enjoyed a baking hot 3 hour session at Gosling Velodrome on hired special track bikes (no gears and no brakes!)

All aspects of track cycling skill and track etiquette were coached by Tim Read of Stevenage CC (www.stevenagecc.org.uk/) , ably assisted by regular track competitor FVS TRI’s Helen Shulver and current WCRA Women’s pursuit champion Laura Bissell of Team Fat Birds
 ( www.fatbirds.co.uk/fatsquad.htm )
