Am going to book train tickets this friday, (subject to Mike e coming back to Me e) as I've seen a bargain to Manc for £11 one way.

Can I just confirm that its still okay for me to Join and how much it will cost please? I currently use Look Keo's, so am not not if they are any good or not, to save me renting shoes that is.

Ill also be in Manc at about 4pm. Apart from getting drunk, which I wont be doing, anything else to do??

You'll need Look Delta...

Track hire assuming 20-odd riders is about £10 each, bike hire £9.60 and less than a fiver for shoes.....(ish - I have Delta's....)

Summat to do in town...hmmmm...have you a bike with you..... ? you'll want some food....

Thank you!

I think I might be able to borrow some Delta's... if not, these hire shoes anygood or is it like hire boots from a Ice Rink?

Thanks.

Yes, coming up with bike and some SAE bags, (for clothes), and hopefully then cycling over the Pennines to Hull for the Fnrttc. Food, yes yes! . Or maybe a pootle too, I dont mind. Is there secure facilities to lock a bike up at/in the Velodome?

Questions questions sorry!

I have a spare pair of delta cleats, Ill bring them down on the day, just need to remind me....alot. The hire shoes are great. Adidas ones, I tried to buy some but they don't make them anymore.

It certainly is 2 hours of fun and I have been on the 2 previous ones but sadly cannot make this one due to work commitments.

Other handy phrases for communication with the locals are "trouble at mill" and something about whippets
