From what I can gather this is about slogging your guts out on an antique turbo trainer, but it could be fun!

After the recent success of the Rapha Roller race 2 in association with Rollaplauza, the team responsible for the modern resurgence of Roller Racing present two major events:

The Manchester Sprint and Rollapaluza IX-mas Details of both these events below

If you’re coming to your first Rollapaluza roller race you might like to know that:

We provide the bikes to race on.
You can wear anything you want, lycra not necessary.
You can race in trainers, if you want to wear cycling shoes flats or mtb style shoes with recessed cleats are best.

Rollapaluza bring their unique mix of roller-racing, music and beer to Manchester.
The World Famous Central Skatepark, already a haven for indoor extreme sports in Manchester will be taken over by cyclists for one night only, who knows maybe some of the “resident” BMXers might steal the show from the club cyclists and couriers….in the style of Jamie Staff?

The event kicks off at 7pm with qualifying, after signing-on riders will get to try to set the fastest time they can in order to move on to the knockout rounds, competitors will be able to make multiple attempts at setting their best time so turn up early to get in as many as you can.

Rollapaluza events are an exciting spectator sport so bring your mates to cheer you on as you attempt to claim a share of the cash prize which will go to 1st Male, 1st Female and fastest time on the night!

Musical accompaniment to the racing will be provided by DJs “Jono” from London and local boy “Zero” of Manchester. There will be a licensed pub price bar.

A proportion of revenue will be donated to the British Heart Foundation.
