has anyone been in the past! is it always crowded and do you have to get there early for good seats or A seat???

BLH

I went to 2 events last year, and whiel their were alot of people there were plenty of seats, as a lot of people stood at the top the bends, and milled around the track centre. Thye're great events to watch and this years lineup is actually lookign even stronger than last years... I'm going to the first one this year, and am gonna watch the BUSA hill climb on the same day.

i know absolutely nothing about roman remains, what do you know about PLOUGH RACING.

although my partners auntie and uncle may be able to tell you alittle about them, but i'll try to stick to knowing me, it'll probably be soon enough that i get to see plenty roman rouines once in the digestive track of a worm.

where you from? don't tell me shropshire? But i must admit that some of the stuff you type is pretty funny, I love the thought of physics and cycling, i think the best cycling performance ie cornering would come best from practice, judging speeds an the amount of braking required best comes from practise, like wise that of riding.

I have this vision of future cyclist approaching a corner, pen and paper out to work out speed and braking cohefficiences when approaching corners, or working out how much power one would be required to generate as the lead group made a break and disapeared in the distance. Cycling comes best from practise and training, no doubt.

i have this scientific approach to cornering, it goes something along the lines of, when cornering, did i fall off, if so did my pedal hit the floor, if not maybe i was going to fast, mental note next time possibly approach the corner a little slower, 25mph was to fast, on wet corners i have managed to corner this type at 25mph dry, it went tits up at 22mph in the wet, lets try 18mph.

when i used to live at my parents, i used to have an old boyscout hut that was built in the garden, it was 20ft by 20ft square, with the help of my father i built a number of machines, with his help i managed to build up a large amount of weights and a number of machines, that i used to train with some 5 days a week, but 5yrs ago they moved, so i no longer have my gym some months even 6 days, depending upon what my targets where.

So this is where i did my best squats, this is where i spent a great deal of my time. when i wasn't lifing weights, or on my punchbag-speedball i would be doing weight circuits, ab workouts rowing machine or exercise bike, etc... boy do i miss it and when not in there i was out cycling or out doing cross country.

An english mans shed is his castle, this was true at the time. Moston is that the otherside of manchester near oldham, moss side area where the cats and dogs still walk around in packs for safety, where they have one window to share between the entire estate.

I`m going , looking forward to it too, never seen track racing live before. I bought tickets off the website to avoid dissapointment, got them through the other day but it looks like the three tickets i have are all in seperate rows albeit in the same block of seats. They are right next to the finish line too. (oh and the bar)

http://player.narrowstep.tv/(w2wnzm...?player=cycling here you can get a rough idea of austrailia national trials and there quite fun to watch, i won't be interested in the bar. since i don't drink, and i will be incahrge of supervising my son, who i must admit is very excited about the prospects of watching all these misters racing fast on the track, maybe i can interest him in what i couldn't afford to do as a youth, maybe when he's a little older a few track lessons will have him cycling at my speed, opposed to other cyclist.

lol.... i like watching the road races, mtb bmx and mountain biking here, since there is never anything of real interest on english TV

maybe you could try installing WINE, the windows emulator for linux so that you can install media player on your PC so you can view it..?? well depending upon which flavour of linux your using anyhow.

Luckily i have eurosport (for the road races) and extreme sports (for the gnarley stuff) but i agree, british tv sucks for sport, unless you like football. The tour of briton was on though i believe, albeit a highlights show one week after the race finished.

i used to complete circuit training in the gym with weights or on the rugby field that was miles away from no where, pretty good; at nights, i would be off for a circuit; practise strides and other drills to help improve my running, then off for 20-30mile yomp, with runs or tabs of an evening and cycling to and from work and a marathon 26miles run once every 2 weeks, since the army wouldn't have me

But i guess i'm getting old now since i can't be bothered with all that anymore, But i still love to ride

we decided to sit where ever, not on the champions straight where the tickets where allocated but opposite the finishing line on the second corner, 'was a good night!' my son thourghly enjoyed himself, say's he wishes dad was racing with them, but his really looking forward to dec 4th since he has not stopped asking since returning home.
