Merry Christmas Reader, and a Happy New Year to you.

We sincerely hope you can find some peace and respite from a highly forgettable 2020 and that sporting activities can get back to something like normal in 2021. We would love to see a whole raft of new riders coming along to try our super little Sport, which while having no direct comparison to other mainstream cycling disciplines is the one we think provides the most exhillerating and challenging experience for old and young alike. We welcome boys, girls, ladies and gentlemen any age from around 6 upwards. See you then!

Unfortunately 2020 was a total loss for us and most of the other UK clubs due to the Cov-19 pandemic.

We did stage a short series of socially-distant and Covid-safeTuesday evening training sessions but were unable to organise anything further than that, and like everyone else had to cancel the handful of fixtures we had planned. With luck 2021 will be somewhat more normal than this year and we can get back into action.

Should that happen as hoped, expect to see us entertaining more youth and community groups here as well as school visits. All will be welcome. Training is by fully trained British Cycling and highly experienced Club coaches. We'd love to see you.

We Are CLOSED!

Like the rest of the Country and most of the World, bicycle sport is cancelled until we get the go-ahead from the Government once they feel it is safe to resume activities after this dreadful Covid-19 virus attack.

For under 16s we run a beginners Friday Bike Night from 6.30pm

What are the bikes like?

The club has bikes for you to use. They are easy to ride as there are no brakes or gears to worry about. Just pedal on the straights & freewheel round the bends.

What do I need to wear?

A long sleeved top, trousers and trainers. We have gloves and helmets for you to use but use your own if you have them.

What kind of track is it?

It's oval like a velodrome with banked bends and a soft red shale surface.

What are the races like?

Short sprints. It's 4 laps with 4 riders, usually 2 from each team per race. Four points for the first over the line, then 3,2,1.

When do we race?

We have fun races as part of training, organise friendlies with other clubs and also host Go Ride beginners races for under 16s at weekends

It's a great time to get into the sport as we are planning to race in the North & Scotland League in 2019.

Club Coach to Luxury Coach!

Saturday 29th October 2016 and our British Cycling Head Coach, Richie Smith joins a very select band of fully-qualified Cycle Speedway Coaches at Wednesfield, elevating himself from Lord to God at the Vikings lair. Not sitting on his newly-won laurels, Richie immediately sizes up some opportunities for winter indoor racing at several venues on Tyneside should the desire to race be strong enough. Some interest has already been shown by several of Terry Kirkup's Team Midaircrisis mountain bike club colleagues so we may see some fresh talent if this comes off.
