Gent / Ghent 6-Day (Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent)

I'm jealous, I was just talking to Ian at Ruxley cycles this morning he was over there for the six day and said how good it was, I must get over there soon.

I've got some beer tokens left!...who wants 'em?

Berlin 6-day, Jan 22-27

German Sixes are something else altogether. I accidentally wondered into the below track strip club at the Stuttgart Six a few years ago. My other abiding memory from that one were the vast array of mullets on display.

Under track strip club? I'm so THERE!

I went to the Berlin one last year. It is quite a lot bigger than Gent, and also more expensive. Atmosphere is similar (maybe not quite as mental), and there is more variation in the events. They break the evenings up with riders who aren't in the six day doing individual and team sprints (with legs which make hippy's look like twigs), and they also have those weird dernys with the bar out the back and the bikes with the small front wheels and backwards forks.

I'd recommend it!

Berlin six day, the Podium girls look interesting! More S&M than M&S

Naughty Iljo Keisse.

I didn't know trackies did drugs. He must've been hanging out with one of those dirty roadies like Tom Boonen.

I just posted that down in trackies!

what a plonker, dope on track? that's all we need

@ Andy....f*ck me, do you speak Flemish?

love this word: "Wielrenner"

Only 8 hours late just read on cyclingnews and posted on Rollapaluza. Blame Hippy.

Good to see that Iljo Keisse has been cleared of doping, all charges having been dismissed;

Btw, is anyone off to Gent for the 6 this year?

one guy who will be missed this year: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/six-day-rider-takes-his-life

Wo. Not good.

he was involved in the crash with Galvez

That's very sad news. I read somewhere else that he'd been deeply affected by the Galvez crash. That must be a terrible burden to live with.

harsh luck.

RIP all dead cyclists

we're on our way to Bel-Jum, nah, nah, nah, nah, na, na-nah!

Good luck on the crossword this time, boys.

college brat!

Ha! It's only Hanka Kupfernagel.

She came forth.

Spotted in Gent, fixie fixie and a Spinergy in Plum.
