Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
We parked at ASDA £6 all day with JustPark very convenient, walked along the canal for 200 yards and we were there. I'd always wanted to visit the Velodrome after much watching of cycling at the last Olympics, and what a great day we had. The Arena itself behind the scenes was spotlessly clean with good catering outlets and plenty of interest. The arena itself was magnificent. Fortuitously I had arranged our seats exactly by the start line and we were so close to the action it was almost unbelievable. We saw a variety of races including paralympian ones and to be honest it was difficult to tell the difference apart from say seeing the odd one-legged athlete get into place. A really good mix. One of the highlights was seeing Jennie Holl be within a couple of feet of lapping the field in the 10km race. In total, 10 national champions were crowned throughout the day.
