MORE IMPORTANT OLYMPIC ROAD RACE NEWS

Postby Jon C C on a Bianchi » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:58 pm

Dear Agreeables (this is a copy of the email I've just sent members)

Firstly, great news about the Olympic Road Race. There has been some concern about access to Headley Cricket Club, fortunately it all seems to be sorted - see email reply from LOCOG below which should be self explanatory. Please read carefully:

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your email. This will not be an issue, we have similar situations around the Box Hill Loop.

Because you have an organised event that we know about and your members and guests will be off the road we can facilitate access. We will brief the stewards in your area that the event is on and that your guests can be granted access so long as they can be identified by their wristbands.

Can you please send me through what the wrist bands look like and also a rough idea of where guests will be coming from so we can brief the appropriate stewards.

As you’re probably aware roads will be closed from 4am on the morning of Saturday 28th and from 6am on Sunday 29th. No vehicles will be permitted after these times. Your guests are welcome to walk or cycle to the Headley Cricket Club along the roads until approximately one hour before the cyclists are due to arrive (Cyclists arrive at approx 11:40am on Sat and 14:00 on Sun).

Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss things further

Kind Regards,

Kris

Kristopher Bird
LOCOG City Operations Manager - Road Events

So what that means is that we're going to have to get wristbands in the post to you. ASAP. If you've moved house and have paid for tickets you'd better let us have your new address. There really is no rest for the wicked!

Secondly, don't forget it's the Third of our Brighton (and back) CRs this Saturday. Usual routine, the Regency are expecting us and Nonnas have the free cake ready for those members who do the there and back. Wear ACC kit - let's put on a show, bring drink, snacks, two spare inner tubes, money and a camera (and take some photos!).

15 mph leaves at 8.15, 16 mph at 8.30, 17 mph at 8.45, 18 at 9.00 and 19 at 9.15, a TG/20 at 9.30.

If anyone fancies a change of route I will take a different, more scenic road to the norm avoiding some of the main ones. 17 mph standard leaving at 8.30.

Also Aodan has organised something for the MTBers - please check the rides section on our forum for details.


See you all Saturday

The Captain

Hi Sylv

did you pay for your extra guest?

I am in the process of labelling, stamping, enveloping the wristbands - they will be in the post box today before the last collection. First class so should be with you Wed latest. Guests' are sent to the members address.
