Track cycling?

I know that a few DHers tried the Sundrive track last year (which has been re-surfaced recently).
I wouldn't mind having a go, never tried that kind of stuff.
Anyone knows how to arrange a session?
Would anyone be interested in doing it?

don't you don't need it !

Hey Max
If you are interested in having a go, you have to do an accreditation day where they teach you how to ride on the track etc... If you contact Hugh Byrne, I think he is the main coach over in Sundrive: trackcyclingireland@gmail.com. I went a couple of times last year and the coaches are excellent. You can hire the track bikes when you do the accreditation. The main site for Sundrive is www.trackcycling.ie. Hope this helps.

Thanks Silvia!

Its not about needing it Richie, just curiosity. This, BMX and dirt jumping are sill on my to do list. BMX and dirt will have yo wait until the XC season is over but no harm trying the track now.

If you have the time to ride on the track at this stage then you are not taking the rest of your training seriously enough..fcuk around with this nonsense in October.
its a crap track and a waste of time for you.

I had heard that the track had a fire on it and was damaged, not sure if its fixed.

Max,
If your looking for a broken collarbone, the track is the best way to find it.

Jesus lads, thanks for encouragement! :) I was only going to do a few laps on it, not racing. But seeing that you have to use a track bike and are not even allowed to change pedals on it I think I'll give up.

Like you Max, I'd love to give it a go, if only to see if I'm as hopeless on a track bike as every other kind of bike! Maybe at the end of the season we'll see can we get a gang together!!

Theres obviously something wrong with me. If i'm on one MTB i'm thinking , i should be doing more on the other one. If i'm on the other one I'm thinking I should get a motorbike again. then I'm thinking a monster truck or a rocket powered sled.
if lynchy and Max were up to their necks in willing virgins, they'd be wondering what Bicycle polo would be like!
I'd like to try a lot of things but Cycling around and around on a bleeding track littered with Glass and scumbags throwing kittens and used condoms at you.
think I'll give that one a miss.
You people should be thinking about how much digging the Club Course needs and what can i do to make The Blast bigger than ever.

Speaking of Club Course when are we starting work on it? Just seen other post Sorry!
