I hit the track in 65
by then it was 6d for 30 mins
and they were only allowing 12 bikes on the track at one time
as i said in Aston Park thread a kind staff member taught
how to ride on a 20 inch frame
i was whizzing around on my own on second vist
i can see all those Yellow bikes in the racks now
