Default Track Day with a difference

Just been considering a go at the Velodrome in Manchester as they have taster sessions and wondered if any of the org's cyclists have had a go?

Cowshot

Calshot is one of the oldest inddor cycle tracks in the uk - IIRC it was originally used for 6 day events in Holland, and has 45 degree banked corners - which are damn scary till you get used to them..
