Due to the huge success of our women's track sessions we have decided to take things one step further and organise a women's only track meet.
Please help us make the event a success by spreading the word to friends, girl-friends, colleagues, etc. And boys... there will be a 1-lap dash drag race to keep you entertained!

**VELO JAM **
Date: Saturday 16 June
Location: Herne Hill Velodrome
Velo Jam with the MuleBar Girls and AnaNichoola is a concept based on the belief that something needs to be done to tap into all the women out there who want to be taken seriously and race track.
With a hefty prize pot of £750 plus loads of goodies, Velo Jam will be attracting and rewarding high level racers. It gives women the chance to race in a field of just other women.
But it is not all about the elite, with 3 categories of racers, ensuring that just because you are female, you will not be expected to race outside of your level. A, B and Go-Race! categories gives something for everyone.
Velo Jam Go-Race! will see women racing on the track for the first time in a welcoming environment.
Not to mention there will be music, stalls and a barbeque to keep the husband and kids entertained!
PS - Those wanting to ride the Go-Race! category need to have attended at least one track training session to be able to race. We have hire bikes that can be used free of charge.
