I just got back.
It was a pleasant afternoon.
Loads to see if you're a cycle nerd (!)
There's no Rapha sale bin for whoever asked, however tongue-in-cheek it was. There is a VERY small Rapha display of the new Team Sky branded gear that comes out in Feb/March. The hoodie will be an essential purchase for me. There's a very pleasant American girl who will happily converse with you about the properties of merino wool.
The track isn't massive tbh. I'd guess at 400m but don't hold me to that. The surface is like that of a sports hall except in the corners which have some red grippy shit on them.
The BMX lads doing backflips and stuff was pretty cool.
There's LOADS of cheap Pearl Izumi gear. Jerseys and bibs at 20 and 30 quid and gloves and mitts for a fiver but they're samples so they're all in medium only.
I went to look around and had no plans to buy anything but the Carradice stall had messenger bags made from reclaimed advertising hoarding... obviously not unique or original but for £35 from a renowned brand, I couldn't say no.
