In addition to a taster session, this voucher will grant you the opportunity to include a flying lap onto your experience. You will also have the opportunity to compare yourself to the performance of professionals with this additional timed flying lap to end your session. This session is 80 minutes long compared to the 60 minutes that you would get if you bought the Velodrome taster. This session includes all the features which are available in the Taster session which will allow you to put your new skills to the test. You will have the opportunity to ride the famous Olympic Velodrome track, you will have an introduction to track cycling where you will be coached to use a fixed wheel bike and taught the skills needed to safely ride around the 250m circuit. Bike and helmet hire are included, so you don’t need to worry about those, but you will need to hire riding gloves- if you don’t already have some and a pair of Look Keo-cleat compatible shoes. This is the perfect opportunity to try something new, so what are you waiting for? Book this experience today!
