I've finally done what I have promised myself for ages, and booked the BMX track at the National Cycling Centre for a gang of work and club riders.
I'm well excited. Anyone been? any tips over and above the instructions that came with the booking?
Me, me .........
A superb day I even got accreditation 😀
Tips no just enjoy it.
Must remember to find knee pads...
Youll love it but if you come off it hurts alot even though you are padded 😆
The big step up at the end of the 2nd straight is about a foot longer than it looks (2 broken ribs).
Hmmm whatever happened to the STW trip to Manchester BMX track? I registered - did anyone else? 🙂
Im up for going again
I have 'unfinished' business 😈
I'm 48 - would it kill me to give this a go??
Why would it?
I'd love to have a go - but feels like not the place for an old git!
Any old gits out there tried it? (I reckon Veteran status (40) = old git)
I'm 40 😀
...and how long off work with the broken ribs??
;o)
Im 40. Falling off any bike or down stairs can break ribs 😉
Here me on my taster watched by my 3yr old son (who rode the same track age 2)

I'm not an old git for another 4 months then so I'll be fine!
It's a bloody bargain too, £120/hour for upto 16 riders, includes bikes and a coach!
There's a couple of committed wheels on the ground riders going. By the sounds of it, they should be fun to watch. 😀
