This past weekend was the Track Cycling World Cup in Glasgow, at the recently opened Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome; the first event to be held at the Velodrome. When tickets went on sale for the three-day event, they sold out in less than an hour. Luckily, G was on form and managed to get us two tickets to Saturday night's events. Saturday's events consisted of:
1 Women's Sprint – Semi Final (1st)
2 Men's Omnium (Event 5) – Scratch 15km
3 Women's Sprint – Semi Final (2nd)
4 Men's Individual Pursuit – Finals
5 Women's Sprint – Semi Final (3rd i.r.)
6 Men's Keirin – 2nd Round
7 Women's Sprint – Finals (1st)
8 Men's Omnium (Final event) – 1km Time Trial
9 Women's Sprint – Finals (2nd)
10 Men's Keirin – Finals (places 7-12)
11 Men's Keirin – Finals (place 1-6)
12 Women's Sprint – Finals (3rd i.r.)
13 Women's Omnium (Event 3) – Elimination
It was such a fantastic and exciting night; I absolutely loved watching the keirin and elimination races. Even more impressive was the velodrome itself and I am so excited that we weegies finally have our very own velodrome - not too many cities can boast of such a thing. Very shortly, G and I are going to our first accreditation session at the velodrome, in order to get certified so we too can cycle on it.

And finally, I've been experimenting with sugar-free baking/ cooking and made some raw "peanut butter cookies". Inspired by this recipe, I mixed it up by making these "cookies" with raisins, peanut butter (the no sugar added variety, obviously), hazelnuts and extra vanilla extract. Delicious!
