So, learned this last week that the nephew and niece have taken up BMX'ing and that they'd be racing today at the newly opened indoor arena, part of the national cycling wotsit up in't northern town of Manchester...
T'was only manners I popped down...
Facilities are rather good and the track(s) are mental - think the tracks I raced as a kid could be made in full from one of the larger jumps you see these days....
5mtr ramp on the left. 8 mtr on the right....!
