Did the velodrome taster session today, and it was equal parts terrifying and exhilarating! It was an awesome experience - very well organised and professionally executed. Perfect for any cycling enthusiast. 10/10. Would definitely go again!

First time riding a track bike in a velodrome, and I really enjoyed it! Despite having cycle commuted more or less daily for 40 years, I was still a little nervous leading the group off for the first couple of laps. How is it possible to stick to that “wall of wood”? But, of course, it is! Soon enough, you’re flying around confidently, swooping about and having a whale of a time.

The flying lap is great fun, but surprisingly hard work for those 20 seconds (give or take, depending on your fitness!).

The staff were great - helpful, relaxed and always attentive to safety.

Highly recommended!

Wow! What a brilliant trip to the velodrome! I was bought a flying lap for the taster day for Christmas and was excited to give it a go. I had a brilliant time! The staff were attentive, friendly and chatty, helping us make the most of our experience.

The flying lap is a must if you’re going with family or friends - it’s great fun to compete against each other and see who’s the fastest!

Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time at the velodrome today for a taster session and flying lap. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Equipment hire worked well, would highly recommend.

Did the one hour velodrome experience. It was a great experience and gets the adrenaline pumping. Very well organised from booking to the day itself. Highly recommended.
