Bristol and Velodrome merriment

[andygates]

I've just been offered a fill-in slot with a bunch of C+ers who have a taster sesion booked at Newport Velodrome on Sunday.  This means I've got an early "in" to my Planned Winter Folderol, that being track cycling. 

It also means I've got four days to turn my fixie from its audax/offroad king of oozy trundle into a lean, mean, track racing machine - this being effected by the removal of brakes, some new handlebars, and a teeny tiny cog so I can go vewwy vewwy fast.  And maybe a quick rub down and lube.

It also means that, since the session starts at 9am, I will be in Bristol on Saturday evening.  I dimly recall stripey_mouse and some others were glomming somewhere - the Hatchet?  Mmm, vile beer and goths.

I think the Highbury Vaults was mentioned at some point. Anyway, gedhrel & I are hoping to catch up with stripeymouse too so might see you there.
