2016 World Track Championships in London on sale today to members of British Cycling. Log in, get your code and spend a week's wages.... apparently.
Everyone else has to wait til the weekend to not get Team Pursuit final tickets.
This isn't one of us I assume, or it might've been mentioned once or twice...

Might be good to show support if you're in the area.
I once rode to a race with a rucksack, while wearing an aero helmet. Neither practical nor aesthetically pleasing!
Have you just put tribars on the road bike without tinkering with saddle position and bar height?
As live?! How do have the time? I'm recording the highlights of both, and that's 2.5 hours a day of coverage. Then there's the cricket world cup highlights too, so I've got the best part of 4 hours of sport A DAY to watch this week (and there's rugby this weekend too!)
So, I've recently invested in Tivo, with the added benefit of British Eurosport. What the hell took me so long?!!?!!!!
Just caught up with Paris-Nice (I called Porte as soon as G went up the road... a classic 1-2 springboard, but didn't think G would follow him alone. Awesome riding) and...
Right, geeks - some help required.
You may have seen the plans for the new TfL 'superhighways'. If you haven't, have a quick look here: http://cyclelondoncity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/if-you-want-londons-largest-ever.html
While some of the detail is below par, the general scheme could be bloody...
Of all the things wrong about that bike is it weird that what annoys me the most is the fact they left the down-tube shifter on? At least the rest of it is either aesthetic (and each to their own mostly, although celeste bar tape will ALWAYS be wrong!) or practical.
Oh no - I've just noticed it...
So Bouhanni's annoyed because he started his sprint too late and ran out of road, but is blaming JD for coming 6" off his line 10m before the line when Bouhanni was still a length behind. Nacer - it isn't anyone else's fault you aren't fast enough, but it's certainly a sprinter's prerogative to...
Hey! It's not my fault you can't spot talent when it's right in front of you! I did that "biathlon" (as it was then) swim-run in Ringmer, so there were signs of multi-sport ability (or at least desire) from a young age. I could've been a contender; granted, in a sport nobody else had heard of...
My major regret in life is now giving up swimming when I was about 10, and not finding triathlon until I was mid-20s. If I'd had pushier parents I could've been actually good! C'est la vie...
It's the sport of mediocrity - if you're actually good in the water, or on the bike or running then that's your sport and you compete and win stuff. If you're quite good, but not competitive at any of the components then you do triathlon.
The kit can be a ball ache, but the more you do the less...
Swimming sucks. Other than that triathlon's great!
With a 400m/20k/5k race I'd be out of the water in 8 minutes, 36 mins on the bike and aiming at sub-20 on the run (bearing in mind I used to do things like training...)
Practice your transitions - get your kit set in the right order and...
Cadence is one of the many reasons to ride fixed. You HAVE to spin up to 130+ on occasion. If you can then transfer this to the road bike a higher cadence becomes natural.
I've been wondering if Lizzie Armitstead has actually seen Marianne Vos from the front since Saturday's GP. Great race, and a top finish from Bronzini, although the highlight will always be seeing the Rainbow Jersey speed past from within touching distance. :)
