Is anyone up for a trip up to the velodrome in Carmarthen anytime soon? I guess a weekend would be the best for most people. It's roughly 40 minutes West of Swansea, for those who don't know.

I've been up to there a few times now and although it's an old track (400 odd meters instead of the olympic 250), it's loads of fun. I reckon a few races could settle a few beefs and seperate the men from the boys........

'London' to Herne Hill = 4.1m
'London' to Carmarthen = 213m

Perfect if you have easy access to a lot of slow-twitch fibres in your muscle make-up, eh? ;)

He, he.

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.
