Manchester Velodrome Media Day 070Holiday track cycling for 9 to 16 year-olds
With the summer school holidays about to start, now's the time to book your kids a session on the Manchester Velodrome, to follow in the wheel tracks of Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton.
There are one-hour kids’ sessions on most weekdays during the summer holidays, but they do sell out quickly, so book soon.
Cost is £5.90 per session including bike hire and helmet hire – and all sessions must be booked and paid for in advance.
Ride a 1-lap time trial and win a certificate and a cycling bottle!
To book a session, contact Manchester Velodrome reception 0161 223 2244 – Option 3 on welcome message (£0.80 charge for debit/credit card payment).
More information is available on the National Cycling Centre website.
