The Thekla, it has been a few years since I went to a gig there. It used to be a brilliant venue, is it still any good?
As for what happens at the end of a Rollapaluza race.........usually the fastest person there walks away with the prizes. Having said that some of people haven't got four or five fast races in them so they lose out.
Half the fun of it is that you can't tell who is fast and who isn't just by looking. There are some very strong roadies out there that are crap on the rollers, there are also some very unfit BMX & MTB riders that have a naturally very fast technique.
There are also a lot of people that have never done it before who speed up as the competition progresses and these people always throw up a few surprises.
