Indoor Comp, Gothenburg, Sweden 23rd Feb - Travel etc
There are a bunch of us from the UK who have booked flights for the World Indoor Champs in Gothenburg on the 23rd February 2008. We were just wondering if there was any news or information regarding travel from the Airport (we arrive on Friday 22nd @ 21:25). There were rumours of free accomodation too...we would love to know more (we are all house-trained!) Also the location of the venue, so we can work out whether to rely on public transport or we should rent a car.
Thanks,
Martin.
ps. We also realise that Team Sweden is based in these garages all winter training and you guys are going to win everything, but what the hell, its a cheap weekend away!

I don't think you should trust everything you read on the internet.
From what I have heard the race will be held in GBG, in their 'new' training facility which is flat but tres grande from what I have seen on pics. So - it's not the greasy garage of EC '05 and its not the fantastic garage of Winter Clash '06. But something in between.
And what do I know. I'm just a poor sailor, lost in the winter.
Ramón should I pick you up, I might take the car from the capital (Switzerland)?

Okay!
I'm betting I won't make either location.
PS-I don't normally bet but it's a new year that could be full of surprises, EH! and that is a pretty safe bet.
C-U folks in Aucust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOTHENBURG?
The Swedes have this http://www.dubliner.se/ in both towns, so us Britskis are just fine. Begorrah.
Ale is an example of a light brown or reddish brown beer that has been rapidly fermented at high temperatures. This fermenting process gives ale a fruitier and more complex taste than for example lager. Ale is found mostly in Ireland and Great Britain. There are different variations such as mild bitter, pale ale, brown ale, old ale and barley wine. Best served room tempered or at approx. 12°C.
Porter/Stout is the highly fermented and very dark brown bitter beer brewed from charred or browned malt. The stout is less sweet, and could be considered as dry, especially the Irish. However, it has a full, black fruity taste with a strong hop flavour. For best flavour it should be served at room temperature.
10 euros on Gothenburg.
