It was amazing - I'm sure the Fri/Sat/Sun guys will have a great time as the events program becomes even more exciting. The venue is ace, the site itself still look like a building site but once you are off the bus the velodrome is stunning.
I had track side seats, but i reckon the view from anywhere is great and you could walk around and get close to the action for a bit even if you were sat right at the back.
Following on from my tip tip 1, be prepared to queue a) on the way in b) for any refreshments (although i took my own in) c) on the way out (It took me about an hour to reach the station at the end of the night)
I'd say it was quite warm, My chocolate was melting by the end of the night (Take minstrels, or mini eggs as the shells wont melt) You will be quite comfortable in a t shirt - but take something warmer for the queue in/out.
Nice to meet you too Harold - I've got a couple of photos of you. I'll edit my shots tonight and load a link here over the weekend.
Hope those going over the rest of the weekend enjoy it as much as i did.
