    Em, do we have to go through the whole Olympic lottery thing to get tickets for the paralympics?


    With the exception of Opening and Closing ceremonies, I would think that it will be easy to get tickets for most events - but yes, there is still a 'lottery'. Good news is that ticket prices are a fraction of what they are for the 'big' Games.

    The track cycling is definitely worth watching. Tandem sprinting is breathtaking.

    Poker, will you be in the road race, (if there is one?)

    Presumably it'll be the same route as the main games?

    Yes I will be.

    No - it's a different course (due to the restrictions on course lengths, etc of Paracycling).

    It's based in and around Brand's Hatch. Details here: http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/disabi ... nnounced-0

    Shame. The main game route goes pretty close to where I live so.

    As BB pointed out there is not really pro and am anymore. until the mid 90s they had separate world champs and Olympics was am only. I had clubmates who went to big sponsored clubs but they could only get given kit etc. and definately no cash. I think even prize money was limited. There were some huge, well funded clubs in France that the top Brits rode for but even there I don't think there was cash.

    Back to Pokerface - good luck with the fund raising. Any idea how much the Renault thing has raised.
