Good Friday Track Meeting - entry deadline

By Janet Birkmyre

Having ridden at the Good Friday Track Meeting just once, I am now an addict and have signed up for the 2007 event already! It is everything that is great about track racing, all packed into one day.

It will boast some of the biggest stars in cycling (Olympic Champion Bradley Wiggins headed a star studded list of riders last year) and it is watched by the most enthusiastic supporters of the sport. True to cycling generally, riders and spectators rub shoulders – you may never get as close to your sporting heroes as you do here - and being England in spring time, the weather is bound to be good?!

For most riders it is the biggest crowd they will ride in front of, but what makes it so unique is that the spectators are right up against the fence with a friendly word as you hold the fence waiting to start, or ready to bang on the boards and cheer you on when the racing is under way.

There is racing for endurance and sprinters and for spectators it is the a great family day out, all at the only remaining sporting venue from the 1948 London Olympics

- Riders: entries close on 9 March (TODAY!)
- Spectators: tickets available in advance and on the day
