How Olympic legacy gave Calshot velodrome a huge boost Daily Echo
While the tight curves of the current track have tested the best since 1997,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], its predecessor was a national venue dating back to the 1970s and one which hosted World Champions.
Over the decades, countless nervous novices have also been catapulted around the dizzying 143-metre oval.
Chris Hoy, his 27-inch thighs pumping like pistons, won his sixth Olympic gold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], weeping as the Union flag was hoisted; Victoria Pendleton, as cool as ever, powered her way to another gold; and the women's Team Pursuit broke world record after world record en route to the podium.
The telephone at Calshot has not stopped ringing since,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the velodrome,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the only banked indoor venue in the south, is now taking course bookings for the autumn.
Training sessions aim to slowly build confidence and begin with learning to clip cleated cycling shoes into the pedals.
Stopping a fixed wheel bike with no brakes comes next - a matter of turning the pedals increasingly slowly while resisting the urge to back-pedal or stop pedalling at all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Steady acclimatisation to the velodrome's ramped banking follows,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Starting on the flat, light blue "Cote d'azur" band, the black "datum line" is the first target and then the red "sprinters line".
Further up is the blue "stayer's line" before the upper reaches beckon beyond.
It's actually colder up there and you get a good idea of just how steep it is when the bike plunges back down to the red line on the opposite straight.
The wind whistles past your ears, the stomach relocates to another part of the body and it's difficult to remove the peculiar grimace that's distorted your face.
Within seconds, the opposite end curve looms and you climb once more to spin across the great divide.
It soon becomes ridiculously addictive.
Once the basic techniques are mastered,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a brave new world of slipstreaming and team riding awaits.
And, surprisingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the senses soon casually accept that the tops of other riders' heads can be seen circling below at lower altitude.
The sleek Dolan bikes are not equipped with speedometers so I was unsure whether Hoy's records were at risk.
It sadly transpired I was outstandingly average,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the old chest wheezing like bagpipes after completing a seven-lap 1km effort. I won't lose sleep over it.
