That's correct you also have the coaching and cross. You must really be cycling mad

Next season '07-'08 I want to take up track racing at the velodrome. Finally I live near one and I want to learn how to ride it. It's been a wish I had since I first saw those boys and girls riding that ring (it's so spectacular). And they are starting up programs to stimulate women/girls to ride track, for the first time they even had womens races during the big multi day track events.
But the velodrome is only open during wintertime. That means that I will indeed spend 12 months a year doing races ... I must be utterly mad to even think about it.
