A day at the races
On Sunday we're broadcasting live from the UCI Track Cycling World Cup at the Manchester velodrome. If you weren't up early enough to catch it live, you can listen again to the programme in iPlayer.
Our journey to the velodrome started at a ridiculously early time yesterday morning when we boarded a train from London to Manchester, as soon as we arrived we were recording interviews, editing audio and shooting video to ensure it was all ready for the show on Sunday.
Not sure how we wangled it but we managed to set up our make-shift 5 live studio slap bang in the middle of the velodrome.
During the programme you'll hear how Phil got on at his first visit to a Cycling World Cup. Phil kept a video diary of his day at the races and you can watch it below.
We took a camera along to the velodrome, have a look at the slideshow below.
Watch the video below to see World and Olympic champion Chris Hoy's guide to the track bike and the velodrome.
