| Johhny Croston, Tom Butler & Matt Brooks getting used to the fixed wheel lark at Manchester Velodrome. |
Matt Brooks, Tom Butler and Johnny Croston accepted an invitation extended by Saddleworth Clarion to Clarion members to join them in a private track session on Manchester Velodrome held on Sunday 10th July.
Thanks to Chris Moreman, “The Emu of Toledo”, other Saddleworth Clarionistas, and a British Cycling track coach, our trio had “an awesome 2 hours” according to Matt, Tom agreed, described the session as a great evening.
Johnny Croston took the photographs except those featuring himself, when he coopted bystanders to do the ‘snapping’ for him.
To give participants a feel for riding the track in anger, there was a flying start 1000 metres event in which the Calder riders aquitted themselves well, though Tom Butler applied a self imposed handicap by following the blue rather than the black line around the allowed boards.
