Hot Rant hit the cycle track

This morning me and Tom got up at 8 am to go cycling at the Herne Hill Velodrome. In a rather un-Hot Rant fashion we actually found it amazingly fun. The sign up man was a small British cycling version of Mr Miyagi; that is if Mr Miyagi was an incredibly belligerent, child hating official. Some choice moments included him asking a kid to "get away from me" for having the nerve to ask how he could sign up for cycling and screaming at a child to stop touching a fence post as a fellow instructor attempted to go over crucial safety points. Nevertheless good times were had by all (except most of the, frankly terrified, children). Cycling around with no gears or brakes in a big circle is surprisingly entertaining, as a result me and Tom decided to start a track cycling team. Like most interns, Owain has proved a massive disappointment. He still puts at least four too many drops of milk in my latte and has yet to realise that we have no desire to help him develop as a an office worker or a person: we just can't afford a proper coffee maker. Due to this endemic level of poor performance we have decided to recruit him to do most of the grunt work for the newly named 'Wolfpack' cycling team. He claims to be bad at riding a bike so he'll have to contend with a steep learning curve (a gradient of 13% on the track to be exact) but will hopefully make me and Tom look like pros. Our kind job offer and an introduction explaining the origins of the team name 'Wolfpack' cand be found in the video below:
