Based in Reading, the Velodrome is used by Reading Velodrome Racing to host training sessions and events.

Address: Wokingham Road, Reading RG6 1LF, United Kingdom

If you fancy having a go on a road bike, the velodrome is open from 8.15pm – 9.45pm – here you can ‘do your own thing’, but it’s best to check no fixtures have prevented the session from going ahead by calling the reception, on 0118 937 5080

Regular training takes place on Thursdays, from 8.15 – 9.45pm, on fixed-wheel bikes from March – September, and road bikes in the winter. The sessions are open to all, though if you’d like to race in the league, you’ll need to pass an accreditation.

This is available via a six week course – it’s best to contact the club for information but there is a small fleet of six bikes available to hire (if you get in quick!).
