Read through the instructions - amazing what you get for Â£40 these days......

Riding on normal roads - no closures :?:

Road signs and marshals at major junctions. :shock:

Obeying ALL highway signs etc - i.e. STOP at RED lights....

Hmmmm
Free WATER :roll:

at the 5 stopping points, but can PURCHASE :cry:

tea, cakes etc at the FINAL one.
Showers at the end (LIMITED) - oh and you have to PAY :cry:

for them
Parking at the Finish - in public car parks (PAY) :cry:

Lose your timing thingy and it'll cost you Â£10 :cry:

Don't get me wrong, I tried to pay and get an official ride, but I'm beginning to think someone is taking the ***** at Â£40 a rider.

Especially when BCs justification for such a charge is the high cost of insurance. Now how many riders on the event do you suppose are BC members who have already paid for insurance as part of their membership? Quite a few I should think.

Anyway, by comparisson the Legbreaker Challenge in the PEAK DISTRICT is charging Â£20 entry - fully marshalled and electronically timed. post race hot meal, free showers and parking, roving support vehicles along the course, event t-shirt for all starters, a course that visits the highest village above sea-level in England AND all proceeds going to the air ambulance.

Now that's worth the money.

[quote] hope they have half a brain (but I doubt it) and put same club riders together. Bloody ridiculous if they split us all up but they'll probably view it as a security risk.
