Yeah, but she's not on the forum is she? If you could ask her for 'em when you get a chance that'd be super duper.

althecoach · 24th November 2008

I sent them on behalf of my other half.

hippy · 24th November 2008

Trike, Plumes

Road rage solution, Plumes

Derny racing

Too quick..

Luke Roberts (Aus)

Flandrian Lion

They didn't let me go in..

No more beer.. time to leave..

Snow!

dogsballs · 24th November 2008

the track was a lot smaller than i expected, with massively steep banks >45degs.

this vid i found on shows it :O

andyp · 24th November 2008

Most, if not all, 6 days tend to be run on shorter tracks, i.e. 200 metres or less as it is meant to make the racing more exciting. Ghent is 166 metres isn't it?

hippy · 24th November 2008

166.66m
47deg I think winston said

andyp · 24th November 2008

That video does well to demonstrate the experience of standing in the track centre. One too many beers beforehand and it's not long before you're ready to get on the vomit comet.

i definately thought it was over 50, tried to google some info before but couldn't find anything :(

awesome pic from ricky

RPM · 24th November 2008

yeah, at first from the side it doesn't look much steeper than 45..

but get over the top of the turns and it's steep as!

never got to do my naked lap of the track, either

teenslain · 24th November 2008

What's the cap situation, Rob? Did you?

There were always two trips one two-day minibus trip and one 24 hour coach trip, coach trip was cancelled due to lack of interest...

I was advertising the last place for the minibus trip on this here forum 'til only about 10 days to go......pity you didn't come actually, Charlene was a great sport, but some female company may have given her a break form those red-blooded ozzies.

hippy · 24th November 2008

Don't blame us.. you Wenglish are just as bad.

great shot. that drop off is short, you wouldn't get a lot of speed coming off the top before you were back up there again. bet it makes the sprint finishes exciting.

Dead jealous - looks a great weekend. good effort you Gents in Ghent

big daddy wayne · 24th November 2008

Yes, you could say it was a little bit steep…

BigSteev · 24th November 2008

Now I'm even more gutted the coach trip got cancelled. That's scary steep banking.

Cool shot Charlene!

hippy · 25th November 2008

Did anyone else ride in this morning yelling "Iljo Keisse!!!!" to themselves as they accelerated.. or was that just me?

dogsballs · 25th November 2008

just you!

hippy · 25th November 2008

Guess that means I fucking rule then. Iljo Keisse!!!!

RPM · 25th November 2008

Rolla report here

illy · 25th November 2008

Really good trip that. Gent is so so nice; the racing was amazing; the beer; the atmosphere; Keisse, what a legend. Now I really want a HHSB with aerospoke, a disc wheel, and white handlebar tape to finish it off.

winston · 25th November 2008

I've got some beer tokens left!...who wants 'em?

Fixedwheelnut · 25th November 2008

I'm jealous, I was just talking to Ian at Ruxley cycles this morning he was over there for the six day and said how good it was, I must get over there soon.
