random knowledge

The Uni sports crest has bees on it to signify that Manchester was/is a "hive" of industry. Hence why the wee bee is on all the pillars in the city and the Boddies beer logo. Don't ask me how I aquired this knowledge, amazing what a degree can teach you.

PS. Whats the easiest was to get to Stretford track from picadilly? Im hoping to race next Tuesday night, but will be relying on public transport? Is there a tram/bus? Is it close enough to cycle?
