this was our second time this year. Trained it over on the saturday, stayed someplace 20/30ish mins walk from the velodrome for 15 euros a bed. Dumped our stuff then grabbed some food and off to the velodrome. Got hammered on Primus beer, watched some cycling, danced to cheesy europop, jumped over growing stacked empty beer glasses in the middle of the velodrome, got stopped by security, carried on, a couple of mates got kicked out rather bizarrely because of the beer glass jumping (last time it was bin jumping) so we ended up in Cafe De Karper next to the velodrome (owned by Iljo Keisse's dad) getting wasted until the early hours. Staggered back to the hostel, very hungover breakfast somewhere in Ghent, then back on the eurostar.
Fun times and cost about 150 euros all in
