in the last 12 months and want to try the next exciting step of
riding the track with others. The aim is to bring riders up to the level
required for the Thursday track training sessions. The morning will
include cornering, sprinting and "through & off" (team pursuit)
drills, where skill, confidence and enthusiasm all come together. To read more, click on this link: Course Content Information
Stages 1 - 2 Combined - SLIPSTREAM! For riders in a hurry! SLIPSTREAM! is the quickest way to progress your track riding. Slipstream is structured to take riders as track novices and develop them to move on to GAS sessions (Stage 3). They are ideal for riders who ultimately want to move on to Track Training. Three 90-minute sessions teach the basics of track riding, before introducing "through and off" (team pursuit drill) and sprint work. It's the perfect platform for those in a hurry! Three Friday evenings, 20.30 - 22.00
Stage Three - Group Accelerator Sessions (GAS)£14 (excludes bike hire - £4 per session) Adults only
Stages Four and Five - Indoor Track Training Tuesdays & Thursdays 19.00 - 21.00
Enjoy your winter training! As well as being fun these sessions will increase fitness, build strength and endurance, increase leg speed, improve bike handling skills and much more. Stage Four Stage Five Cyclists can attend either or both but need to be aware of the main emphasis and relative intensity of the particular session. All sessions must be booked in advance. Our policy is to check on take-up at 1300hrs on the day preceding the session. Rider AssessmentsOur experience has shown that it is beneficial to the safety of riders and for the general flow of the sessions, to try and ensure that riders are booked onto the session appropriate to their ability and fitness levels. Riders progressing through the ‘Tour de Calshot’ programme are continually assessed by the coaches and should seek advice from those coaches as to which session is suitable for them. Riders wanting to ride Stages 4 and 5, who have not been through the ‘Tour’ system will need to speak to a Calshot coach for guidance.
Private Tuition
Group Bookings and Club TrainingThe velodrome is available for hire to groups and clubs during evenings and weekends. You may bring a cycle coach or arrange for one of ours. New Bikes!!!Calshot has a new fleet of track bikes. The shiny new black gloss models have arrived and are currently being built up in readiness for September. A complete range has been purchased, including some incredibly small-sized versions, so there should be a bike to suit most riders. It's another graphic example of Calshot's commitment to providing excellent sports facilities for the area.
