Hey PNECC guys!

I'm a member at the only club on the Isle of Wight known as Vectis Roads Cycling Club.
Unfortunately for us, especially the ones who want to start racing etc, we have very few/no cycling facilities, such closed circuits.
So my question is, is do you guys have a training session over at the mountbatten circuit that members of Vectis RCC would be able to attend and learn the skills of riding a circuit etc? Or does anyone know if it is possible to hire the Mountbatten circuit for a certain amount of time on a certain a certain day?
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong part of the forum!

Cheers!

Arthur

Arthur - just read your blog. Dave Gwilliam, is the best point of contact - I have asked that he responds to the questions that you have posed as he organises the track for the Club.

Very Happy Hi ArthurIOW, bookings are made via Sue Page 02392 626500 (ext 224) or directly 02392 626505. She works strange hours often not available until 5-9PM. You need to have a qualified cycling coach, with public liability insurance, first aid trained (they recommend a paramedic on site - but that's only a recommendation). Usually a British Cycling Coach (qualified) ticks all the boxes. The track hire during the day at 'special rates' is £16 and hour.

I normally book 2 hours, and the gates are normally unlocked around 20 minutes before session starts so riders can sign-on (BC requirement).

On the other hand, you're more than welcome to pop over to our sessions on a saturday, although the next confirmed one is on 6th July 12-2PM (as athletics all day bookings are solid in June). Details on the website www.pnecc.co.uk

hope that helps, any other questions feel free to ask

all the best alien

Thank you very much for the information! It's really helpful! Very Happy

The only question I have is do the cyclists all have to be a British Cycling member to take part in a Vectis session?
As I don't think many of our Club members are part of BC.

Thanks,

Arthur

No. All you need to do is cover the coach requirement, insurance etc. etc. for the booking. Sue likes to have copies of the coach's qualification and confirm the liability insurance details
