Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome Track Accrediations

04 Oct 2012

Track Accreditation update!!!

Hi folks, Jake has been on the phone and given us the low down for what will be happening over the coming weeks at the Velodrome.

The website will go live this afternoon for individuals to book their own accreditation slots. The accreditation itself will consist of 2 X 1 hour sessions followed by 2 X 2 hour sessions.

Emirate Arena

The actual sessions will start on Monday next week and if you are super keen which most of us are then you could be accredited by Tuesday evening.

The cost for an individual will be £70.40p. This includes bike and shoe hire. For those of you who use Look Keo cleats then these will be compatible with the pedals fitted to the Dolan track bikes which can be hired.

As far as club accreditations go, This will be available in a few weeks time as the priority is to have individuals set up first. However if you are willing to wait a few weeks then Club accreditations will  work as follows;

10 – 15 riders.  The same time frame as per individual accreditation and everyone must make every session. If a rider cannot make a session then they will fall out of the course and will have to start again and pay the fee again. The cost for up to 15 riders will be £500 (£33.30 each). 

We would recommend that if you want accredited quickly then to contact the Velodrome directly.

Track league starts next Wednesday and for the first few weeks you will not have to be accredited to ride. Which will help those get racing quickly if you want to take that path.

Further coaching sessions will be released in the next month covering sprint training, pace line training etc.

I hope this gives you all the info you need at this time and good luck. Any questions then let us know.
