Yes and just turn up. I would imagine early as it is first come first served! |

The guy normally sets a table up just in front of the trackside entrance.
You have to fill some details and consent form so handy if you have a pen.
He will call up all people first who got knocked back in previous weeks, thereafter its a simple get in a queue, bit of a bun fight and make sure your form is filled in otherwise he moves to next person!
When I went last year weather was ok and turn out quite good as a result few people were disappointed but I am thinking early March you might be lucky.
I do think if there is a largish group of you going it you would be well served to phone up as you never know he might block book you in advance.
Worse case scenario if you do get bumped, make sure he gives you a card for next week when you will be guaranteed to get on. |

Not sure .
I went round to a polish friends house to celebrate her 'name day' with yet more vodka. I saw a white fixed gear in the corner and she told me that her flat mate was selling it. Steel compact frame, new bottom bracket and stem, flat bars. He only wants a hundred or so for it which, in my vodka fueled state, I thought was a bargain. Maybe when I look at it again it might not such a good deal.... |
