Olympics 2012 track cycling

I'm going to hammer my commute tonight.
^this.... all 15 minutes of it.

Hah! In your face!

This

You Londoners are going to be fucking swamped with nodders after the games.

We already are.

Every day it's sunny they appear from nowhere.

It's discombobulating and mesmerising in equal amounts to find yourself on a cycle super highway behind a mexican wave of flouro.

I smashed it from Waterloo to Cambridge Heath after seeing us win the men's team pursuit and got home in time to see Vicky win the Keirin.
Win! Take that other commuters!

I'm shaving about 5 minutes off my PB along Leeds outer ring road at the moment. I want one of those ace track lids, and I've just eyed up a GB jersey today. Would that be too awful?

Not if you make the team. Any prospect of that?

And Trott in the omnium , and Pendleton and Kenny in the sprints. Then I will be satisfied.
I would settle for Kenny smashing Bauge in the sprint!

Not if you make the team. Any prospect of that?

Depends on the team. If it's the '5 mile cross country honk on a battered fixed wheel bike', then I might make the regionals.

I wonder if DernyMan does that as a full time job?

He works at Manchester velodrome, and TBF he does spend a lot of time driving them!

Following my victory in the men's 3.2 mile commute I have gone for an Olympic themed evening and My first beer was a 1698, which is of course the last four digits of the zip code plus 4 of Olympic in Los Angeles.
I have followed that with a Golden Champion, and there is a Young's London ale in reserve.

^ need one of these

I think I read somewhere that they had built a new velodrome for the Olympics that will never be used again - you wanna bet !!??!!

Are the GB cycling jersey's even available for general purchase? I'd buy one to add to my collection

The GB Team skinsuits (given I haven't seen a GB rider in a jersey yet) I don't think are available. You can buy Team GB jerseys from evans, wiggle etc. that have the right design.

Mostly sold out though.

Give it 2 weeks and they will be half price.

You're right I'll hang on until Olympic fever dies down.

Only just watched because of beeb's inability to understand it's own broadcast schedule! I nearly went into meltdown when I saw the channels changing AGAIN!!!

However................. YYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done guys! Gawd bless you Queen Victoria

I love you!

I thought nodders was a banned word?
We are all one big happy family all united under the umbrella of cycling. Pedalling in the same direction. Focused on the same goal

Thanks for the heads up. I am so seeking that out.

I'm also intrigued to try it, after greatly enjoying their IPA.
