Farnborough & Camberley Cycling Club

As some of you know i have booked Calshot track this year and one for next year
this October i have booked Calshot Track date for the 31st October 1.50- 4.50 this is a Saturday
this is for beginners and novice, but there will be a few FCCC members helping out who have ridden before, i have invited them as to help with coaching and tips and to keep things interesting

if any one is interested in this session please contact me i have sent emails out

i have also booked the 3rd of October but this session is for more experienced track riders and it is designed as a speed/race session basicly a dam good ragging if our legs are up to it, so if you wish to attend any of these then please contact me on this post,
Nigel

thanks to every one who turned up on Saturday, a few more new comers tackled the track with success and are looking to do more, it was a bit disjointed yesterday with so many riders with different abilities but i hope they all got a good work out, hope to see you at the next one one the 5th December

Anybody got any pictures?

As a track noob I can say yesterdays track day at Calshot was superb.
At first the prospect of just staying on such a steeply banked track was daunting, but Coach Nige built everyone up gradually until so it felt quite natural.
The safety side of things was well taken care of too. Many people wizzing round a banked track could end in tears, but everyone was well drilled in the do's & don'ts, so it didn't ever feel dangerous.
Hire bikes were in good nick & at £8 for the session, good VFM.

The flying laps at the end separated those with technique from those without & made a noob feel like more practice was needed.

A great day. Thanks to all involved.

Glad you enjoyed it John, i will be sending out details for the session on the 5th December over the next few days, but the basic idea is the session is for 4 hours and if i get enough interest it will be a split session, 1st 1.5 hours will be for novices then the next bit will be for people who feel they have enough left to carry on and the more experienced riders, the effort level will increase along with the technical level on the track, so if you want to attened please contact me, just one thing if you say you are coming then please turn up I had a few people pull out last time and i and the club can not afford the cost, as i have to pay up front,

some pictures from previous sessions

and an other

on Saturday there was another track session and if you can read them are the times for the final flying laps, 1
thanks to all that turned out i think it all went well and we all had a good time, next one is on the 6th February

saturday was the last Calshot of this block booking i did, 4 dates in all and i would like to thank all that turned up and joined in, we have aad a good turn out for this last session but i have had to get others to join in from other clubs, which is ok but i would like more FCCC guys and girls to give it a go,
Calshot are releasing dates in May for next autum/winter and i have been asked to book some more which i'm happy to do, the track at Calshot is fun and it makes good training for all levels so please support this and have some fun without getting wet outside,
thanks to all who have turned out and ride this year,

I would certainly recommend these sessions to anyone - they are great fun, as well as being good training sessions (and can be very welcome alternatives to battling inclement weather conditions during winter!) Nigel does a great job of getting newbies up onto the track (as he had to with me a couple of years ago when I went down to Calshot for my first ever 'boards' experience ) and once you've conquered it its rather addictive
It would be great to see a few other FCCC faces down there.
Thanks to Nigel for giving up his time to run these enjoyable training sessions,
