On the right track
The beauty of track racing is that it provides something for everyone.
At first, track racing may seem like a daunting prospect to many; with no brakes or gears fitted on the bikes,
inexperienced riders may perceive a lack of control. But by controlling the speed of the bike through the force on the pedals, the rider actually has more control than on a standard road
bike.
Year - round thrills
Speed can also be controlled by using the track's banking, and seeing as no one has brakes there's never any need to come to a sudden
stop.
Not only is track racing one of the most thrilling events on two wheels, it's also one of the most sociable. Another
major advantage of riding the track in the UK is that the velodrome run track day rides throughout the winter as well as the summer, meaning there's no need for racing to stop just because it's dark,
drizzly and cold outside.
CS Dynamo riders use Newport Velodrome, for new riders a track coach will teach you the necessary skills to start riding the
boards.
CS Dynamo and a few other East Devon cycling clubs have got together and set up a facebook site to encorage as many of
the club cyclists to get together and organise a trip to Newport this way we get a good mix of newbie and experianced track riders.
