The London 6 Day will bring the legendary 6 Day atmosphere back to the UK. We're excited to go and check the event out, but, before the racing starts we wanted to try our hand at riding on the track.
The madison is a key part of 6 Day racing, which is raced in teams of 2. So, Dan and Simon and Matt and Olympic cycling legend Chris Hoy teamed up to see who would be the fastest over 1km.

There are a number of track-specific skills to learn. The Madison sling is a more advanced technique. If you're interested and there is a velodrome you can access, inquire about track classes.

I don't think I could ever ride on a track, I love the scenery and how everything changes when ridding, and you don't really get that on a track.
@mynaamiskaas 8 жыл бұрын
This is the same old argument mountain bikers make towards road cycling: "It's always the same, nothing ever changes" etc etc I think the pure excitement of the race will probably keep you entertained. The riders, the speed and the tactics change I suppose. This coming from a fellow Roadie by the way :)
@Kevin-vr9np 8 жыл бұрын
I guess the speed would give me a pretty good adrenaline rush, so It might be fun every now and then, but I wouldn't enjoy doing it regularly, I believe it'd get old fast.

Kevin Jaaaaa, I tend to agree with you. Think racing might have it's perks, maybe the crowds... But training sounds like a boring old day to me
