From http://www.legacycompany.co.uk/

"Create the Lee Valley VeloPark, including the addition of a 1.6 km outdoor cycle circuit, a 6.5 km mountain bike trail, the
regarding of the BMX circuit and internal work to the Velodrome"

Sounds like they'll be making changes to the velodrome, itself.

and ...

"The construction work is expected to take up to 18 months, although the Legacy Company has structured its phasing so that sections of the Park will be opened to the public from summer 2013."

After eight years service on the winter bike, my freehub has finally called it a day.

Anybody got one kicking around that they'd like to sell/send to a good home, please?

Cheers

How are they going to get everyone out and back in, in the short time between sessions?

It's not too bad on the Friday and Saturday - two and a half hours and an hour and three quartes - but 40 minutes on Sunday to get 6,000 people out and back in again will be fun...

Well as my wife is Dutch that won't be a problem as they don't know the meaning of the word "queue"!

To be fair, few people outside this island (and increasingly few on it) do...

Just looking at Round 3 of the Velo29 Winter Series, over 40 entered again so hopefully break the 100 mark on the day!

Forecast looks OK, dry, light wind but a little chilli, to be expected I guess.

see you there!

They do Chilli there? Nom Nom.

She's up the duff, FFS! Why would anyone want pics of someone in that condition???

... Ohh-

Cav's mum is up the duff Gotta be some kind of miracle And Hans joins the Rooney brigade.

It can happen to an older lady on a small island in the middle of the Irish Sea you know - not just to a 14 year old girl in the Middle East!

I went to that Island once. I didn't know if there was a time difference so I asked a bloke at the airport and he said "Yes, you have to set your watch back 50 years!"

U nabbed that joke from Mock the week. AICM Frankie Boyle.
