    I'm intending to go but mainly for mini-Herbie the Dog.

    Could well be a once in a lifetime for him. Aiming for some BMX and some track and maybe some of the TT or road stuff.

    No interest in the MTB event as XC is effing boring to watch.

    I'll be honest and say its crossed my mind but its a hell of a drive to watch some guys in lycra ride round a field.

    Yea im much of the same opinion, but I would like to go watch anything really just to say I have... once in a lifetime and that..

    On the other hand, gymnastics .. Underage females in lycra that were allowed to watch, I'll take some of that!! :twisted:

    no, flexible as in she could contort into all manner of interesting positions. It was awesome, apart from her serious infidelity issues.

    I'm planning on going down to watch the road race but mainly as i have a lot of friends in London and am hoping to be able to just sit in a pub or bar somewhere along the route and have an all-dayer, with maybe 20mins of watching people in Lycra speed past.....I have no idea how feasible this is though.

    Got my "interest registered" for the MTB, BMX, Track, Swimming, Athletics, Rowing, White Water, and a few others... although in truth I'm not really fussed by the MTB.... XC is dull to watch.

    Would love to go to the BMX or Track though....
    I like bikes and stuff
