^ Meares, Perkins, Bobridge and a bunch of others you've never heard of.

You might never have heard of them andyp..

Shaaaaaaane!

I'm off to the Sunday sessions.

Was so gutted before as i ended up in A&E when the tickets went on general release, and i had it all planned to be at the computer at work ready. And then a friend managed to get 2 tickets and offered one to me a couple of weeks ago! Yippie!

ffs. i can't find a website for the event. How the fuck do you get to the velodrome?? Stratford international? Going Friday eve session..

Central line, then go through the mall I think.

How the fuck do you get to the velodrome??

By bicycle? :)

That's what I'm planning, unless London is knee deep in snow or on fire again or somesuch. Going both fri and sat evenings - can't wait

Thought about riding but DLR from Lewisham seems a better option really. Can't be arsed to lug it out there on what will prolly be a cold evening. Plus bag, helmet, cleats blah, blah, blah

I'm working the event. Come and find me.

Looks like you could be locking me in a cupboard lol

a guy from my team is gonna be competing(sprint), anywhere online I can watch it? dont have access to eurosport

I think you have to get the train- I think the only way to access the velodrome is through the park and the park isn't open yet so you have to go through the station. Although maybe you could ride to the station, dunno.
I'm going on the Sunday (yeeeeeeeeeeeeee) and I know someone who's going on the Saturday and although he lives in Hackney said he has to get the train because it's the only way to get in. Or something.

Just received an email with this in:

Link and bump.

Looking forward to this.

Anyone up for a post Saturday session pub meet up to discuss the day? The only pub I know in Stratford is the Golden Grove, which is a Wetherspoons but it's decent, and the Indian next door does pretty good food.

Here's the attendees on different days, from what I can gather from the posts on this thread...

Thanks NCGee for adding the link. Copied it from my email at work so was in a rush, realised after it probably didn't make much sense!

Looking forward to this.

The King Edward is just over the road from the station and is really nice- http://www.kingeddie.co.uk/
