So... I'm interested and should be in town by that time but won't be able to use my own bike - they have bikes there you can use for free? That's the impression I get from the website. And I've ridden other velodromes but obviously not this one so I'd turn up at 9 am for a little training session, is that right?

oh! and uh, is insurance required at the track?

Today is my first anniversary so we're having the husband's favourite lasagna with garlic bread and probably some steamed beans or something. And the bottle of champagne we saved from the wedding.

True story. I have tried many unsuccessful times to knit while trackstanding.

Rye & ginger has always been my happy drink.

Last time I stayed at this place: http://www.hayesvalleyinn.com/
Quite liked it, very good value IMO.

I bought it a new chain the day before, does that count?

I'd keep out the refined sugar and use brown rice syrup or something instead.

It doesn't show the bike all that well but this is me. On the way to my wedding incidentally.

And just for shits and giggles here I am trackstanding in a wedding dress.

Yeah, I've got those too, and I made my husband get me two tubs of ice cream. The expensive kind. yum! Except he brought home one with nuts in it. facepalm

I had my wisdom teeth out last week so I'm still on the soup and mushy veg diet. :/

I'm in a pretty similar situation as eddie, moving to London in September and wondering if anyone can help me out with a few questions... though I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so let me know if I should be starting a new thread or what. Thanks :)

Hello Canadian ladies, welcome to the forum :D

Thanks... I have a ton of things to figure out in not a ton of time, so I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions!

Hi everyone... I'm Canadian, live in Vancouver currently but will be moving to London in September for school. Somehow I found myself in the fixed community here so I thought I'd check out the same in London :)

I don't know if this will be helpful for you anymore cause the thread's kind of old, but maybe for future reference for others?

In any case. Dubrovnik is an awesome city and finding a place to stay is fairly easy, people rent out their extra rooms especially during the summer and whenever you show up there will be loads of people with signs at the ferry/bus terminal. Get them to show you where the place is on a map just to make sure it's not farther than they're letting on. If you want to stay in the old city check out House Renata, we stayed there & liked it a lot. Although having a bike in the old city would not be convenient.

The Jadrolinija coast ferry is pretty nice, if you do that don't bother with a cabin. We thought it would be nice to have a proper bed and got the cheapest cabin but it's really not worth it to be stuck in the bowels of the ship, just get deck passage and get on early & claim a spot right away.

The train doesn't go as far south as Dubrovnik, only to Ploce, so your options would be bus or bike... the road is narrow and twisty and traffic can be pretty harrowing. Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable biking it, but others might. Hope that helps.
