I'm thinking of booking a group session if I can get enough takers. It was about £10 for an hour last time I did it, but that was a couple of years ago.

Anyone up for it?

Yes but I am only free every other weekend - assuming you do a weekend

You have my e-mail once it starts to get fleshed out as I am hardly ever on here 😕

I'd be interested, plus 1.

Though on what Rorschach says, looks like we've got Bob Hope.

Count me in, know of a least one more who I could drag along too.

Would Newport be an option if Manchester is too busy?

South Wales? Probably would have to leave Manchester before I've had my tea to get there for an evening session.

A good option if you live near it though.

Right then…

The velodrome is booked up until May 2013. I requested a week night at 9pm. We are on the waiting list and will be notified when a place becomes available. The hire charge is £170 for 1 hour including bikes. That equates to £10.62 and a half pea each. There is an additional charge for shoe rental.

I’ll bring this thread back to life when I’ve got a date.

Over and out.
