Following the success of our first Velodrome session, we’re promoting a second Team De Ver track day on Saturday 23 March from 1.30pm – 3pm.
Please note this is an open public session run by Herne Hill Velodrome so we will likely be riding with non-club members too. Your friends and relatives are of course welcome to join you either on or off the track!
This session will be ridden on track bikes, which are provided by the velodrome (there is no extra cost). The session is designed specifically for beginners, you do not need any previous experience on the track. You will be taught how to ride a track bike safely by qualified instructors.
To get an idea of what’s in store check out Martin’s account of our first session in September 2023
Herne Hill Velodrome was where Maurice Burton started as a young rider. Now is your chance to follow his wheel! In January 2023 De Ver Cycles donated 80+ track frames to the velodrome, in the iconic yellow+black colour scheme. You may be lucky enough to ride one of those 💛🖤🤍
Cost: Adult £20 / Youth 14-17 £5
Please book early to reserve your place, by registering on RiderHQ. Entries close at 1:00 PM on the day.

Our Track Taster Sessions are the first step on our cycling pathway, and are essential to attend before participating in any other track cycling sessions. The Taster will teach you the basic principles of track riding, and be a fun introduction to the sport.
- You must complete a taster before riding any other session at HHV
- This induction lasts 1.5 hours. Free bike/helmet hire included.
- Lycra is not required, although we recommend that you don’t wear anything too baggy – layers are recommended, as well as a warm jacket for after. Remember to bring water and a snack.
- Gloves must be worn
- Please arrive 15 minutes before the session start time to complete the sign on process, to ensure that the session can start promptly
- Please note that it is not possible for latecomers to join in.
You will receive an email ahead of your Taster session, outlining everything you need to know. If you have any questions before then, please email info@hernehillvelodrome.com
