This is our last winter visit to Calshot.

 Visiting Calshot veldrome    It is unlikely that Calshot has enough hire bikes and shoes to fit everyone and so you may wish to consider taking a club bike with you. Calshot is the world’s [probably] shortest velodrome at 147 metres long. It is a proper banked track, very easy to ride and very exciting.  Please note that usually Calshot is colder inside than the weather outside and this is particularly a problem for spectators. For riders you need warm clothing and should not be riding in shorts. Helmet, gloves or mitts are all essential as is a snack and drink. Calshot is 90 miles from Brighton and cannot reasonably be driven in less than 90 minutes and two hours is a sensible time. It is best to arrive up to an hour in advance of the session to enjoy your visit fully. This is an exciting opportunity for members to ride on fixed gear bikes indoors. For those who wish to make a day of it, Calshot has many other activities and is near to the New Forest .
