Wow, what a rush! I highly recommend trying track cycling out!!

I'd never been on a fixie-singlespeed bike & it was a bit nervewracking at first . No brakes & speed... The hardest things: starting and stopping-remembering just to let your hand slide along the bar at the bottom of the track, going for it through the corners, keep pedalling and don't hold onto the bike for dear life (sore shoulders and back this morning..)

I spent quite a bit of time just going round n round getting used to the speed I then progressed into the area between the red & black lines for a bit then moved down then up..

I was petrified when they wanted to do an individual time trial-(we didn't have to & although i wanted to, it was just the starting out bit that frightened me. Someone holding onto the bike, the sort of sloped feeling etc..) but it looked like sooo much fun!

I'll continue my core work as it'll help heaps on the track! I'd love to go singlespeed!

I knew quite a few of the other ladies(through mtn biking, swimming) that were there but most of them are quite experienced. Tis ok & will def be going back. It's cheap too!! $15/session!
