Indoor cycling over the winter

Why not try something different this winter, and have a go at Cycle Speedway racing?  Cycle Speedway is a fast-paced cycle sport, where riders race single-speed bikes with no brakes around a small, tight circuit.   Races are normally very short, lasting only about one minute, so a great way to get a thrill with plenty of time to catch your breath and go again.  Some physical contact is allowed.  To be a top rider, technique and courage are required.  Specialist bikes can be loaned to riders.  Sessions take place indoors at Sidney Stringer School CV1 5LY on the following dates, with more dates to be added soon.

• 7 November
• 14 November
• 21 November
• 28 November
• 5 December
• 12 December
