Revolution at Manchester Velodrome

Went over to Manchester to see the first Revolution meeting. Good fun, good
cycling. David Millar signed the family Randonee du Centennaire shirts.
Nathan's will now be framed. Had trackside seats right next to the finish line.
Excellent way to spend an evening.

Cheers, helen s

The other thing noticed about Manchester was the amount of bad driving. It was
appalling! The number of motorists jumping red lights was astonishing. Not just
a sneak through on amber, but a full-blown running red lights at speed was
noticeable. Perhaps there was something in the air yesterday - as it was much
worse than I've noticed before :-Þ

Was Obree there ? Was it packed out ? Did you get tickets in advance ?

I was thinking about going, the velodrome is a 45 min drive from my house,
but Mrs Series wasn't too keen even though she used to like the track
cycling and I didn't really fancy it on my own.

Was Obree there ?

Not that I could see

Was it packed out ?

Very full

Did you get tickets in advance ?

Yes

It was a good evening. Vernon, Nathan & I all enjoyed the cycling.

Went for the day. Nathan joined in with the Eastlands Velo session earlier -
getting some track training in. Have to say that club is *excellent* at letting
him join in. Which is great, as we don't have such a facility where we are. So
a distinct *thank you* to Eastlands Velo. Nathan had a bad sessin though - he
came off at one point by pulling his foot out of the pedal, unintentionally, as
he was pedalling so hard. He came off and the boy behind him couldn't avoid
him, so two of them came down. Both were just a bit bruised, nothing serious.
Nathan was very cross with himself though!

Cheers, helen s

My tribe also enjoyed the track meet, wide and 3 from 7-14 all very
complimentary.

To be in the presence of such greatness was fantastic.

I just wish I had known at the time that we were in the same seating
block as helen.

We were slightly higher up, having opted for the empty press seats,
which gave us a table for the reasonably priced munchies.

As Arnie said, " I'll be back", or was that some other pseudo
American?

How nice of you to say so, but (blush), I don't think I'm *that* great. Oh, you
mean that isn't what you meant? ;-)
