Count me in - how are people planning to get there? cycle or drive? If drive, I might be able to accomodate another bike.

Hi,
I've just checked my diary and realised that I'm running a particularly hilly cross country half marathon the day before (they don't call it Beauty and the Beast for nothing!) I usually mix my training up a bit, but I'm only too aware that running eaves my legs feeling like lead on the bike the following day. Why is is ride then run is fine, but run then ride is totally the opposite?
Anyhoooo, I really don't think that my first step into racing should be off the back of long run, so I'm going to bow out this time. Sorry.

[Antloony]

ok so The Shadow and I are trying to get more people down there to race so he's willing to take 5 or 6 bikes plus a passenger in his van and I can take 4 people in comfort in my motor.

If anyone else can car share then please state here and how many you can take and we'll draw up a list of who's going with who etc. Be good to make this a success.

Looks good, count me in

Ant and Colin

Thanks for posting. Car sharing is a great idea. Things are looking good. Don't forget the warm up re: Presidents 10. Anyone fancy taking a few photo's ? Would be good to capture etc

Cheers

Hi Ben,

How long is the "A" race? As we have the circuit for 4 hours, shall we make it a proper Road Race i.e. 70 miles?

Cheers

Paul

[Marek]

90 miles would be better for me, takes me 70 miles to warm up these days.

Cheers

Marek....

the car journey doesnt count and you cant start half way btw

[Ben]

Category A riders, for a circuit race, looking at around an hour. We can add or subtract laps, accordingly, based on number of riders. Other Category riders probably around 40 minutes, again we can add or subtract laps.

[Andrew G]

Sorry Ben but I'm not going to be able to make it, too much to sort at home. Hope you get a good crowd for the races.

[TonyC]

when are you posting the start sheets Benny boy??

[Ben]

Its enter on the line. So 45 minutes to an hour to ride circuit. Then kick off some races. Your allowed up to a 100 riders on the circuit to race. So plenty of flexibility.

Anyone else cycling out to Gravesend?

I'm leaving South Norwood around 7.45am, heading through Bromley, Chislehurst and Sidcup, route here: ridewithgps.com/routes/3397009

Cheers,
