For those who haven't been before, this is a grass-roots slalom bash for allcomers.
Run what you brung or try out what you covet - Pavels/ Geckos etc. There will be ramp starts, but if preferred, then push starts are equally accetible.
Pads are recommended, and for insurance purposes, helmets must be worn.



Further details for the event are covered in previous Wasteland forums.

Best approach is by car from the M4. Head North on Junction 3 towards Southall, go straight over the first roundabout and then leave on the exit road up to the second roundabout. Take the right hand exit towards Southall on the A4020, moving over to the right-hand lane in order to take the first right into Springfield Road (It's the turning just after the large MFI warehouse and Wickes store).

If you are heading on down via pubic transport, then take the overground to Southall station and pick up either the 207 or 427 down the Uxbridge Road to Springfield Road.

The entrance to the cycle track is on the right before the turning point at the end of the straight section of road. It is rather inconspicuous, but is the same entrance as the 'Goals' sports car park and building:



Parking is at the bottom of the track. Slalom slope is image centre (RHS pic), wind direction permitting.

Nearest food supplies are from a small store at the far end of Springfield Road, over the dual carriageway. Alternatively there is a Burger King at the next road down towards Southall by the Retail Park and a McDonalds over the other side of the main roundabout opposite The Grapes pub:

Yummmm.

The approach to Southall after Spingfield Road is typically jammed with traffic, so the best exit is once again the M4 route.

Lowdown: bring your Thermos and windcheater and fastest slalom board!
