Re: Velodrome
Similar view Stu but think there are cost options around permanence of seating, cost of land it's built on etc, Newport was £7.5million although that was 2003 and like Derby only has 500seats, Derby is a bit fancy architecturally which must have put cost up. Meanwhile Glasgow was £123million! All re...

Re: 2018 Time Trial Calendar - Open TTs, Club TTs, Team TTs and Hill Climbs
Too early to give that award. Robin is going to add a calendar feature to the website that every event organiser and racing captain will be able to edit and add events and races like these to, which will make this incredible spreadsheet totally defunct. Maybe.

Anyone got any good campsite or cheap accommodation recommendations to looking to do a tour of Flanders or Paris Roubaix trip? Will have a car and two bikes.
Somewhere West Flanders around Oudenaarde, Kortrijk etc although any others near Ypres, Roubaix, Ghent may be useful too.

Agreed Helen and Steve. Not the time for protest or directing blame although hard not to be angry and want to aim that towards someone. I think high numbers on the ride is a show of protest and demand for action enough.
