[VC Walcot] Training at Castle Combe.

[Ian Savage]

Many of you will know that Chippenham Wheelers organise a open session at
Castle Combe Race track on Tuesdays nights.  As of the beginning of April
these have been running again.

 

It is a great training opportunity as you can whiz around the track to your
hearts content for several hours, un-accosted by cars; all for the
‘Princely’ price of £1.00 (payed on the gate before going onto the circuit
for the first time).

 

For those of you who are thinking of having a crack at some racing this year
it is a great opportunity to learn a few skills in a less hostile
environment(!)with some like minded folk.  I am offering to organise some
simple sessions to help us all get more out of racing for the same club;
this week will be about pace lines and some sprinting and would be good for
anyone entering road races or sportives. This week the pace will be pretty
steady, and sprinting will be paced by yourself.

 

The track is available from 17:30 and I will be aiming to start some
training at about 18:00.  I suggest we meet at the entrance to the pit lane
(for those not familiar with the circuit ride around anti-clockwise from the
gate as you go up the drag to the start finish line you will see the pit
lane entrance on the right), we will have a quick chat before heading out
onto the track to do some laps.  I will be on a yellow and black BMC wearing
a Walcot jersey.

 

If the weather looks dodgy (wet) give me a call – 07977587364 to check what
is happening.

 

Any questions drop me a mail.

 

Cheers

Ian
