Imploder Posted May 31, 2018 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. Sat mornings - Then watch the "manne" go at it during the league. I'm assuming training session for newbies.
CharlesZ Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 we included track every Friday afternoon (Date track days) as part of our training. We still on a standard road bikes but need to get track bikes still. Track is def making me stronger and hopefully where I want to get to.
John Vlok Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Come down at watch the Racing at Pilditch This afternoon. Racing starts at 14:00.

Yes, once you have completed a track intro course. HNP lends itself to having a relatively wide range of talent on a single coached session.The track is wide enough and angles are so that you can basically work on an inner and outer lane with a slower and faster group all at the same time. Best would be to come and look at Wednesday afternoon sessions where we have from under 11 to Juniors and masters all following a similar program and getting the workout of their life. Will update here as soon as other sessions are finalised. Will take a month or two I guess. For now I would suggest going out there on a Saturday morning and doing some miles by yourself or with a couple of friends. You will very quickly get used to the track. There may even be some music pumping from about 10 am if Rajab has already set everything up. I do however suggest first doing the intro course. The racers only pich from about 13:00.

If it was on a wooden-indoor track he would have beaten 50 easily. More mention has to be made of this also. CSA could at least send it through to SABC news (not that SABC means a lot)

CSA could at least send it through to SABC news (not that SABC means a lot)Taking nothing away from Gert, he did a fantastic effort! However, I don't believe that a wooden track would have allowed the extra 3km for free...If you look at the difference between the "true hour" record set by Boardman on a "standard" bike over the fully aero machine there is a massive difference and both of those were on wooden tracks.... I don't disagree that it would have been quicker on a wooden track, 3km quicker? Anyway well done Gert!
