Do you guys post anywhere else? I love reading up on different track racing related info/experiences but not much goes on here, how popular is the sport in the Uk? Do you get spectators or friends of the riders come to Herne Hill to watch the racing? In Dublin Ireland we just watch each other race, even at national level theres nobody there watching the racing, sometimes wives,girlfriends,dog walkers outside and local kids(velodrome is in a park). It seems strange seeing some guy win a national title or break a record but theres nobody there looking, and track never gets a mention in the media here except for the large calf splinter at the worlds.
