Victoria Pendleton won. Wasn't she brilliant.

 

And Bradley Wiggins and Cav in the Madison were awesome.

 

And what about Chris Hoy? Just out of this world.

 

9 gold medals. Fantastic.

 

 

 

I don't know anything about Nia - what country does she ride for?

I remember Victoria as a slip of a lass down at Welwyn track.

I couldn't agree more - I'm afraid I find the boat race rather a bore.

 

My son rode the junior national cyclocross outside the Manchester track several years ago, and I went round the course, but I never got to ride inside (never had the opportunity to ride track unfortunatly).

Saw the picture of her on her bike, with nothing else on at all - still a very trim lass ..... but amazing the power she has when she sprints.

I took up cycling late in life. My son was very keen and started off riding Mountain Bikes then moved onto cyclocross. I used to take him to events all over Lincolnshire at first, and then to the national cyclocross events. Since I was driving around with a trailor full of bikes every Sunday I decided that rather than just sit and watch I would ride as well, so I started riding with the vets. I did local time trials and road stuff, cyclocross and MTB around the place (we used to go down to Thetford quite a lot in the early days).

 

The events I really enjoyed were the Polaris MTB orienteering weekends where you went out with all your kit for a weekend in the wild. We rode all over - Keilder, Wales, North York moors etc. Matt and I used to ride in the seniors although I sometimes found a fellow wrinkly to ride as a vet pair.

 

Sadly I don't ride now - haven't done anything for years. My son went to University and discovered women and booze and stopped competing (although he has now started riding a bit again) and it wasn't so much fun by myself.

 

I have a shed full of bikes - road, time trial, cyclocross, MTB and an MTB tandem that her indoors and I used to tour on (the last ride we did was Southern Ireland and the Ring of Kerry - magic). Watching the track riding yesterday has made me promise myself that I'll get them sorted and get out again on the roads this summer!
