Hi Phil
Notts track is open 24/7 as is derby, not sure of the condition of derby but they have been doing coaching sessions there so it should be ok

DINGO

www.britishcycling.org.uk is always a good place to find direction and addresses of all track in the UK you'll get info on Notts, Chesterfield, Mansfield tracks there.

The Derby track and Leicester track that Mark has mentioned wont have details on this site though.

I think Derby will have very soon though.

Theres another little track in Huncote, on the out skirts of Leicester. Its a play track, not bad though if you live close and your new to racing.

derby track is fine and some good riders there , i usually hit there every sunday on the old school and my haro cruiser.
the only thing about the track is the little kids going the wrong way and the parents moaning at you when you ask them not to let there kids go the wrong way around the track.

Leamingtons track is still there and used still, not a bad track to have a roll on.
