Activity Write Ups - 2004 - Explorers' Velodrome

Click to Enlarge

When Steve first suggested that we visited a velodrome we all thought it would be as easy as riding a bike. We turned up to find out that we would be riding bikes on a 50 degree incline, with no brakes, our feet fastened to the pedals and a fixed rear wheel, so that you cannot stop pedalling for a rest, at 40kph+!
Pretty daunting really. Luckily none of us fell off, though some came closer than others, and we all had a great time.
