I want to get as many of you pros on the track as possible. HKCA offers courses, which you'll have to sign up as a member first. Hopefully when we get some recognition from the group, I'd like to set up regular drop-in track days, which is pretty common with most velodromes. let's get a group together and shred it up.

Do you turn up with your own bike or use theirs? Is there restrictions? No brakes? Only smooth track specific frames? Or just ride whatever?

they provide old good bike such as bob jackson, colongo etc....

they restrict track specific frames for safety reason, since my bike is 20" wheel and installed a brake, so I can't use mine...

I'm in support that everyone gets some track training.

Abit of TLC and powdercoat will be fineee

So anyone want to sign up together with me? I'm thinking SOON.

Oh, and is this taught in english or chinese, cause all the forms are done in that chinese language.

Vee_dub translated via msn for me. It's a pretty basic form. I believe if anyone wants to do it you'll need to join hkcycling. I'm good to do this but can't make any of the baisc courses before christmas, so i'm going to see if they'll let me jump into the intermediate course.

Here's the form links: HK Cycling Association Membership Form (english)

I've used vee_dubs info here to create a more english friendly version of the track course Click Here

Actually, U don't need to be a member of HKCA. U can join the course by just filling the form and fax it back with payment receipt. (pls see my previous reply)

The course use chinese, but they tell u some really basic info. only. Then u can ride it urself even in the first lesson :>

Does anyone who knows they can stay above the BLUE for over 3 laps want to see if we can do the intermediate course on December 6th & 7th?

I'm going to give them a call or pop over to the track and enquire about skipping the basic level. Although, if they want to do it by the book and make us do the Basic first, i'll have to wait until Jan 6th. As i'm busy for all the Nov dates.

i'll do int. with you, if they will let us. when you going?

i've enquired by email about whether or not someone with plenty of track experience needs to do the beginner course. when i get a reply i'll let you know which course i'll be doing.

I'm totally interested! i'm all up for doing it if it gets us in...! (vee dub... your cue dude...!) i mean, i totally hate taking tests and doing things officially, but i think we might need to do this to be taken seriously... or the situation with bikers isn't gonna improve... where do i sign up!?

Cue?? I am just sexy..wink wink*
I am a sexy dude is more appropriate line...!!!

vee dub: you are the master of penetration and homo antics!!! hahahaha
and please dont wink... my screen will break

skunk: i think you will probably whip local rider's asses...

ok im down to check it out when you guys go and do your tests...
i am just not 100% convinced on this idea of test and what ever...
i will just sit by and watch one lesson or day practise or what ever...

Track riding is quite simple,
a- look where you going (i.e. round the next bend, sounds stupid but loads of people look down over their front wheel)
b- don't swerve, you'll take everyone out, great for videos, not great if you're in the pack.
c- don't overlap the wheel in front, you'll take everyone out, again!

ps. i'm still waiting for a reply from the cycling association.
