Ride the Boards

September 20, 2021

TO ALL WKRC MEMBERS: On behalf of the WKRC Commitee I am trying to ascertain if any member would like the opportunity to ride the famous track at Lee Valley Velo Park under the tuition of a BC coach. We have visited the venue before and all members who attended will confirm it was a great night out.

If the event is viable we would need sixteen(16) riders (or a lower number acceptable to the Commitee) to attend. The cost of 1 hour Track hire is £160 plus £50 for the B.C coach-£210 if 16 attended that would be £13ph plus your hire of bike £12 and riders must have shoes with Look Keo pedals or use adapters, You can take your own gloves/mitts and helmet. These are the days & times avaible but it it is likely to be a Wed or Thursday either late October now or November but could make it early December if that is more suitable. ·

Wednesdays: 19:00-21:00·

Some Thursdays in October :18:30-20:30

Of course it means travelling to Stratford and using the Blackwall Tunnel but parking is free to users of the track and car sharing is recommended. Anyway email me if you are interested or have any further questions and if you prefer a Wedor Thursday I would suggest we have the last booking just in case of latecomers. Regards.

Trevor.
