    Lol Shaggy. Even *I* know that there's a kickass Velodrome in Manchester and that's where VP used to practice

      And it's not as if I haven't been trying to draw your attention to the matter for some years now.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

        There's a nice cycle route actually from near yours which takes you to the velodrome, done it a few times.

          I knew it was there FFS ...and I knew they had big races there, I just wasn't interested in it at all. I had no idea whatsoever they lived up here.

          Haha well you have to see it to believe it. I never thought I'd get interested in it, ever. And of course the rampant doping scandals are extremely off-putting to an outsider.

            Really? Is that alongside the Mersey? Chorlton Ees etc? Or up along the canal towpath at Stretford?

                  Have you heard of the Fallowfield Loop? It starts where the new tram stop is located in Chorlton, and curves around South Manchester as it is an old railway line. Ends in Gorton and from there you can pick up a path which takes you to a canal towpath. Follow that and it takes you to Sports City and the Velodrome.
