Most of the empty seats were in the top tier, around the track there was a decent crowd. It was maybe 2/3 full.
Should be a week of good racing with a lot of good riders including Adam Blythe and Glenn O'Shea, Jesper and Michael Morkov, Iljo Keisse, Niki Terpstra. And a womens omnium featuring Dani King running wed-fri.

I went, too. You're right that the music didn't allow the crowd to make the atmosphere, maybe they'll make some changes. But the racing was ace, particularly the young GB pair of Germain Burton and Mark Stewart, and Paris-Roubaix winner Niki Terpstra in the Points race.
There were a lot of empty seats, so there's a £20 a ticket offer for the remaining nights.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Nike Shield Flash jacket?
Best I've found so far is £211 at Wiggle: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/nike-shield-flash-jacket-ho13/
If you buy it from sportsshoes its £137.50 - using 10% quidco cashback.
-
Ultegra 11 speed (6800) is £513 for a complete groupset (the whole works bar the hubs) at Ribble right now with "XMAS10".
That's a lot of group for the money, 6800 is excellent (in my view).
£445 at probikekit using the code SAS15UK plus quidco cashback.

Geoffrey Butler is a handy shop, if you're looking for cheap older campag.

From TfL FAQs about Superhighways:
- Can motor vehicles enter Barclays Cycle Superhighways?
Barclays Cycle Superhighways comprise a mixture of mandatory and advisory cycle lanes, blue surfacing in bus lanes, and blue surfacing in general traffic lanes.
Mandatory cycle lanes must not be entered by motorists including motorcyclists. They are shown by a solid white line separating the lane from the general carriageway and by roadside signs, which also display operating times.
Advisory cycle lanes are not designed to be used by motor vehicles, as stated in ‘The Highway Code’. However, motorists can enter the lanes if absolutely necessary. They are shown by a white dashed line separating the lane from the general carriageway.
Blue surfacing in bus lanes and general traffic lanes is designed to remind drivers they are likely to encounter cyclists and provides cyclists with a clear route to follow. The blue surfacing in bus lanes involves no line markings on the road.
In all cases, blue surfacing is designed to guide cyclists, and they are not obliged to ride on it.
