Found it on bike radar... but it did make me chuckle.

Dont forget track cycling this weekend from London at the Olympic Velodrome.

Tonight on BBC2 from 7pm...

Yep saw some last night, missed the World records being broken, its a fast track for sure.

I nearly went, as I got an email from Ticketmaster with tickets for sale, but when I went to the site they hadn't been released, so I forgot about it.

Still they'll be more events in the future

Not a bad idea, Church Hill will have almost everyone walking and with the final challenge being Bwlch-y-Groes with close to 75 hard miles in your legs, it will be a bitch. I struggled last year on compact with 25-13 cassette.

Would be nice. I'll probably get a hotel the night before.

(Read hotel as cardboard box by the startpoint).

Can probably help out with somewhere to stay too....

Put your club down as CRAPI Wheelers then (that's Chris, Ron, Al, Paul and Ian our founding fathers...)

It will be different this year after the Alps, storming up there like Armstrong
