New closed cycle track, Nottingham (Harvey Haddon Stadium, Wigman Road, NG8 4PB). [OR why the East Midlands is the place to be].

So in the past few months Nottingham and Derby have been waging war in terms of awesome new things for cyclists.

Derby's new velodrome is perfection.
The pump track down the road from it is hilarious fun.
The NDCXL is grass-roots fantastic.
The local race scene is massive, well organised and friendly.
The Peak District is your door to the perfect world of MTB or road fun.
The roads are quiet, there are bike lanes literally everywhere, many completely segregated, and in general, people are too damn friendly (bar at commute time).

And now Nottingham, not wishing to miss out, has built this:

Move there. Now. Enjoy a cycling paradise.

I used to live in Nottingham, and commuted to derby daily. Moved away about 3 years ago and missed all of this!

Derby was a shocker to ride in though. People cannot fucking drive there, and EVERYONE hates cyclists.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
