Very tempting. Although I'm so unfit I reckon I'd last about 2 laps. However, all those years of my dad taking me to watch the Skol 6 at Wembley Arena definitely makes me want to try to emulate Patrick Sercu, Willy Deboscher et al.

What do they mean by Cote d'Azur? [Yes] (off first website mentioning the track specs)


I don't see it sunbeam?

On this page there is a small (one row) table with a summary of the track inclusing length, angle, surface. geometry, and "Cote d'Azur"

I've no idea what it means either

Either Sunday 5th or Sunday 19th November.  Both are afternoon sessions with a qualified coach. I've put a voting thread here.  The day will cost around £20 for at the track, and won't include food or transport.  This ought to be paid up front, I will provide details shortly.

If you don't have your own clipless pedals, you can use trainers and their pedals with toe-straps I believe.

I'm in as a spectator, I'd go with the 19th, otherwise it clashes with the New Forest skate.

I might be spectating now. 5th is New Forest skate if I'm fit but I'm not sure my knee will be up for riding by then.
