We have confirmed dates for our off-site velodrome track coaching sessions at Calshot Velodrome in Southampton. These are open to all Slipstreamers Members, with Calshot perfect for absolute beginners to track. Our Coaches are very experienced in teaching novices, who will be taken through the basics at their own pace, and who were are pretty sure by the end of the session will riding around the track quite confidently!
So if you want to get a flavour of what it’s all about, why not give it a go – if you really don’t like it, you never have to do it again; and of course if you do, then that will be that!

Who May Ride at a Calshot Club Track Session?
- These are only open to all Club Members, regardless of age.
- If any riders under 6 want to take part in the coaching sessions, do talk to the admin team or track coaches, as size of bikes can generally be a problem.
- Occasionally, track sessions may be opened up to members from sister clubs by invitation, volunteers and parents if there are not enough members signed up. This is at discretion of the Club only and usually very last minute. Keep an eye out on Twitter for updates.
What Does a Track Session Cost?
