Tromp Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Slight slant to toppic. What happened to the indoor track that was going to be built in Potch. A few years back the special wood for the track , costing a fortune " was on the water " ?
John Vlok Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 How's it guys thought I would let everyone on this thread know that I have taken over from George as the track executive of Gauteng North (Pilditch) we are really putting in a big effort to get the track off the ground and going properly again. It would be greatly appreciated if guysand girls could come join the racing even if it is just to be a spectator. I will post all things happening up here otherwise feel free to contact me anytime.

NotSoBigBen Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 'Tapped out' 20k's at HN Park this afternoon, first time on a track.

The sessions are structured so that almost any level of rider can benefit from it and get a good workout. That is the beauty of a track environment.
Rolling Stone Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 If we were to offer a weekend - training session at HNP sometime in the future, what do you think would be the correct time and day to do this? Taking into consideration that the track is mostly occupied on Saturday afternoons from 13:00 to 17:00 with the league races.
