Hi Everyone
So, we have a date for our Track Evening Event at the Derby Arena - Friday 12th April 2024 8:00 - 10:00pm.
We hope to have a 2 hour session if we get enough riders. We can have up to 32 (16 on the track at any one time). Those of us who rode last time will remember how tiring riding the boards really is. So, we will run the session in 15-20 min sections at the coaches discretion. This will also allow us to have groups of riders for whom this is their first time on the track alongside those who have been before.
Bikes and shoes will be available for hire on the night.
Last time we car-shared to save costs and be friendly!!!Please see costings as attached below.
Nearer the time, I will collate bike & shoe size information for the Derby Arena staff.PLEASE CAN YOU CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THE TOP OF THIS POST
Any questions, please ask me.

After our successful visit to the Derby Track earlier this year, we plan to hold another event. This time, the plan is to include both track novices and those who have ridden the boards before (well at least once for some of us!)
We are planning the session for a Friday evening in February but the track schedule for next year will not be available before November.
So, this is a holding post to guage interest from you all.
If you have never ridden a track before, no need to worry, as there will be a professional tracl coach to guide us through the session.
As before, we can have 16 riders per hour of track booked, so we may book 1.5 or 2 hours this time if numbers allow.
If you would like further information on cycling at the Derby Arena, please follow the link below for details of costs etc.
