Indeed I have. Over the winter of 2001/2002 I did a full winter season on the Velodrome at Calshot. As I live in Hampshire it was relatively easy to get to on a Thursday night.


It is 141meters around with a 46 degree bank. The corners are so sharp that the G forces push you against the crossbar at racing speeds.


But you can ride around the top of the banking at about 8-10 mph.

People tend to fall off because they go too slow due to fear. Once you are used to it riding in a bunch a 30 mph with no brakes is great fun!!
