Annoyed with myself for not being interested until now. 
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.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostI knew about the velodrome and that it hosted big cycling events - didn't really know it was the centre of British cycling. I literally had no interest in it whatsoever. I'm a fan now for sure.

...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.Originally posted by Red Setter View Post And it's not as if I haven't been trying to draw your attention to the matter for some years now.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

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.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostReally?
