Nicole Cook is competing in a team event. Hoy and Pendleton for the most part compete in individual events. Peat always competes in individual events.

Nicole Cook will not win the worlds or the Gold at the Olympics until British Cycling produce a team that is strong enough to support her. At present she's in a class of her own and that makes her a natural target for every attack in every race at this level. she then has to cover all the attacks. It gives her no real chance since she's the only one with the strength to chase them all down. The rest of the women's team are just struggling to stay with the pace.

Quite amusing reading some of these posts back....

Guys following on from a pm I have just had I will email you the rider info letters not post. So make sure everyone that wants to go has emailed me at info@fasttrackcoaching.biz

d.mac, no you cannot bring your own pedals. Its either look or a clip in that gives you straps and you use your trainers.

Any one wishing to hire bikes needs to ring Newport Velodrome direct on 01633 656757 as we cant deal with hiring bikes for you. I will send out a letter next week confirming everything.

Cheers

Guys aim to get there at 8.30 please, 9 will be too late by time you have unloaded and got the hire bikes. Let alone if you are stuck in traffic like people were for our last session.

Also we will be having a rider briefing at 9.am sharp!

personally I wouldnt, and they are not as quick as 22mm tyres anyway, so kinda whats the point?

what other decent bike shops are there? I am thinking of getting my gf a fixxie too to get her to college, cheers

it could really do with a re-spray before it goes outside and rusts in seconds bless it, might have to visit one of these trendy shops you speak of.

they are quill ones straight blade not sure of the rake?

My road bike is spd sl's and I cant be faffed with taking shoes etc also whant a bike to pop to shops pub blah blah, so sounds like I need new forks.

Sounds fair andyp, where from and how much they likely to be?

Mr Smyth,

I am neither "young" or "hip" so havnt a clue what your post means....

The forks would need to be drilled, they are proper track forks can put a pic up if that helps??

provenrad I can skid, but it ruins your legs not ideal on a recovery ride on the way home from the gym......

oh and I really really hate areospokes!!

Hey guys,

its time I drove my car less and got back on a bike a round town.

Used to ride an old track bike about when I was a kid and plan to join you trendy boys and do the same, I can either use an old Terry Dolan track bike I have or get a cheap new one. If I use the Dolan I either need new forks or to drill the ones on there for a brake, any advice??

Cheers

im driving but not going from brighton so could take you home but not there.

it wont harm your prep at all.

Hey,

getting closer had a few more enquiries, we were really putting this session on mainly for guys from this forum. We arnt going to earn any money from it and I am a little suprised the take up hasnt been better judging by the numbers who always seem keen to try a proper indoor track.....

Actually Rob is kind of right....

Quite possibly but I didnt hear it when I was riding, only noticed it after watching the vid!

Need about another 5, at the moment we dont have enough to cover track hire, let along our costs.

Still need more riders for this guys.

Actually it was a lead out stratergy, the other guy is a good endurance sprinter and I didnt want him doing a long slow wind up lead out of lots of little bursts. So I just got to the front kept the pace medium and waited for him to attack.

Thanks mate, great offer but I am looking to go 45mph plus not 25mph.........

Hi guys,

I really need some top end speed work before the Euro's, so can anyone either,

1. split the cost of booking the track with me and we get a derny rider in to help or
   
2. JC, RPM etc would you sort out some times we can do efforts? Maybe on the Thursday session inbetween the endurance groups?
   
   

Cheers

video of my sprint final

Thanks for the congrats guys very kind.

Adam's ride in the kilo was very, very good (regret helping him with his start the weekend before now lol) and he did a great controlled ride. Unlike myself who was about a second and a half up at half way and I think still a second up with a lap to go.....might have blown a bit on the last lap! Safe to say I couldnt have gone any quicker, evident by the state of me after. Was about 15mins before i could sit up or talk and my lungs still feel broken today!

hey guys,

I am away at Newport at the moment preparing for the masters national champs and my fast track email isnt working so please email me at lee@performancecyclecoaching.com

cheers

Hey guys,

five people booked so far, we need 15ish to make it work so please spread the word. This is a great chance to get some decent indoor track time with high level coaching. We will be able to cater for requests to try certain skills, so don't miss this opportunity.

Cheers Lee
