[quote="Rogan"][quote="Elliot M"]So is the general thought that as long as we're in place by 9:00, we shouldn't have any issues with getting there by bike on road?
Folks - I am a little concerned that marshals will turn people away as soon as the organisers deem it in the interests of safety. [url]http://www.mole-valley.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=13499[/url]
Information on this event has been sporadic and has altered as organisers slowly realise how popular cycling is in the UK and Europe. Some of our neighbouring plots at Headley are concerned and have advise guests to be on site at 7am for the mens race. Since guidance is now based on access being denied when deemed appropriate we do not have a cut-off time to work to and for the sake getting up a few hours earlier I would have to advise that we all aim for 7:00.
The organisers are marshalling all exits including bridle paths and they may, of course, keep these access points open much later. Be early and don't chance it. You will notice that Car Parks open at 6am and are on a pre-booking basis.
Same place for Sunday's women's race for ticket holding members and their paid up guests. Your tickets cover both days.
I will post more info when I get it.
Excellent work all round Rogan. Chapeau.
Now that the security might be army instead of G4S muppets, maybe we should be early. OTOH, on what basis can they close a bridleway?
