Saturday night we went to Manchester Velodrome to watch Revolution 24.

We were hoping that we would see Hoy racing but unfortunately he'd had a smash last weekend and was not fully recovered from that. This was to be Arnaud Tournant last race before retiring and the finale was to be a sprint between Hoy and Tournant.
However we did catch lots of other races. This time we stood track centre and you get a completely different feel to the race. Boy do they go fast (I got lots of photos of track or the part of the back wheel of a bike!). Standing track centre you are also very close to all the riders enclosure... and there were some very pleasant sights to be seen :) Bradely Wiggins and Geriant Thomas were racing as were Jamie Staff and Jason Kenny.

Another highlight of the night is the pancakes with banana and honey ... oh and lets not forget the goodies we had taken ourselves. All in all an excellent night at the track.
