Went to the Track Cycling World Cup in Manchester. Had a smashing time. We won lots of medals. Many truly awesome performances, by British and visiting riders.
Next year the world championships are being held in Manchester.... I just might go....

We have passed the middle of February and the weather is being as unpredictable. I cycled to work once this week and once last week. I am planning on slowly building up to do it more often. My first attempt was in -7 degrees, this week it was a much more balmy 5 degrees or so. Whichever way you look at it I made it! There certainly is a lot of satisfaction in it. And it's nice to cycle to go somewhere, rather than in ever increasing circles. It also has the advantage that it gets the exercise in when I otherwise wouldn't/couldn't.
Next major thing for me is the World Cup at Manchester Velodrome. I think this is the fourth of these events that I have been to, and after only doing one day last year I am going for the full three days this time. As ever I am really looking forward to it and a few folk I know are riding. So Go Kate and Go James!!!!
