Ironically now that the running calendar has big holes in
it, either due to the races not being there or simply full because there's not
enough of them to go around, the Velodrome is winding down for the winter.
Yes, I know track cycling is seen mostly as a winter sport
but then so is pantomime and the place will be taken over by Buttons, the
fairy Godmother and the Ugly Sisters for most of the season. Yes, Cinderella is
going to the ball, in my Velodrome, and we don’t even get tickets. Not that I'd actually want any of course but that's not the point.
Tonight, three riders from the British Cycling Academy join our
session, which is quite scary. Fortunately they are all doing the sprint
sessions rather than the endurance sessions like me. So thankfully attempting
to keep up with them (or somewhere approaching keeping up with them) isn’t my
problem.
Daughter comes to watch and I don’t think she was too bored.
Afterwards we go for a couple in the Horse and Jockey.
Tonight’s dark one is Black Forest Stout from Abstract Jungle.
