Redditch Premiers: Bishops Tachbrook Play Track (Part 2‏)

After hearing great things about Bishops Tachbrook play track from some of the Premiers members; Myself, Sean, Mick, Andy and Ang thought we should check out the hype for ourselves . Myself and Sean set out early. When we arrived it was hard to believe such a great little track was tucked away in the corner of a park in the middle of a small village. The first straight is awesome fun with tight flowing rythym, this ment there was so many ways to get through it. At the end of the straight is a snaking tarmac berm which can get a little tight when you carry your momentum from the first straight, into it. Down the second straight you have more space between jumps but it doesnt flow as well as the first straight. Another great feature of this place is that the last corner,which is also tarmac, shoots you straight back up the start hill so you can literally do circuits of the track. We found it great for training by pumping round the track and seeing how many cuircuits we could do until we felt the burn. Mad manualler Mick Gough was rolling through half of the first straight on his back wheel, the guy has got mad skills. It was also great to see Sean really improving with his maunualling skills, it just showed what versatility this track has.

In summary we all loved this place, its great for beginners and experienced riders, because their is so many ways through it it gets the mind ticking with the different combinations, but its great for beginners to get the hang of manualling jumps and having more confidence in getting through Rythym sections.

Needless to say this will be a regular venue for Premiers Club session over the winter and we cant wait for our next visit. If you haven't already been, you should check this place out.....you won't be sorry you did.
