About the Herne Hill Velodrome Track Experience Taster
Follow in the footsteps of cycling greats with this incredible Velodrome Track Taster Session running at Herne Hill Velodrome in South London. Adorn yourself in all the gear which is provided on the day and learn the basic principles of track riding alongside experts in the field. This location is pretty special, as it was built in 1891 and has attracted thousands over the years who come to watch men's and women's cycling events. This venue even hosted the Olympic events in 1948 and has seen the likes of Laura Kenny and Jo Rowsell Shand training here over the years. Unlike regular cycling, these track bikes take a little getting used to as they have fixed gears and can be tricky to mount. But throughout this session you'll grow in confidence with tuition from experts and by the end of it, you'll be whizzing around the Velodrome in no time. If you know someone who spends all their time cycling and would love the chance to learn how to track ride in a location which has hosted some of the very best over the years, this would be the ideal experience.
