The PandA could be the spot you're looking for.United57 said:Bike Race this evening. Anybody know the route? I would like to watch it from near a bend next to a pub. A pint and a spill.
Thanks I used to go and watch the racing in Newport. Lots of action at the bends with racers falling off !Trumpet said:The PandA could be the spot you're looking for.United57 said:Bike Race this evening. Anybody know the route?

If i could go that's where i was planning to watch it - upstairs window over-looking two tight bends, spill potential high.Trumpet said:The PandA could be the spot you're looking for.

There was a spill apparently but I didn't see it - not that I went for the spills of course !
Watched a few whizzing past from the safety of The Water Mill bar, quite a few punters were taking their drinks outside with no problems.Theorum said:I went to this last year and totally loved it, just the police spoiled it by not letting you have a beer out side the pubs while watching.
I don't know about the rest of the forum users, but for me, the town centre drinking ban is a stupid draconian measure that spoils so many events. No mulled wine at the Christmas light switch on/fireworks is just a travesty for example. This town is not some rough hell hole, so I'm fairly sure there wouldn't be a huge upturn in street drinking and bum fights.Theorum said:I went to this last year and totally loved it, just the police spoiled it by not letting you have a beer out side the pubs
