I got some good feedback about last year's event. Thanks to all who helped out. If you've specific suggestions about events you'd like to see please post here. Otherwise I'll run a similar programme. Please post here if you'd like to: race, help out, or hire a bike.

I can help out Ade, might need a reminder nearer the time.

I am more than willing to help out where needed! i'd also like to take part in some of the races too if that can be worked into it...

Anyone willing to race, I'd say focus on that, as numbers are normally low and there's lots of trophies up for grabs. If you just want to just do the pursuit though that's fine but still need some track/fixed experience. You planning to do any of the Friday night track league Jamie?

Unfortunately I can’t make that date, so if anyone wants to borrow my track bike (size 54 ish I think) give me a shout.

Thanks for the offer

I really enjoyed watching last year, but thinking about racing this year. What do I need to do in advance to get track acredited? Can I just hire a bike on the day?

Accreditation not required for our sessions, but always useful.
Halesowen CC organise accreditation sessions for the outdoor track only before FNTL starts, usually posted on Facebook.
Full UK track accreditation done at Velodromes and you should check out Derby or Newport if interested.

It's also about whether you want to do well and not be scared of going fast! So as much track bike and track experience as possible I'd say. If it ends up you can't get any just do the pursuit.

currently liaising for a pre champs training session - watch this space.
