Anyone done this before, its literally outside my new office!

Wanted to enter a race this year but never expected I'd try with my Brompton, don't fancy my odds with a heavyweight 2 speed.

    I'm supposed to be in the Team Challenge. Form suggests this is a bad idea.

    Is Wayne in the support race? No chance of me making that. I'm supposed to be doing the TT part, then the relay...

    I think I am going to go along and watch. Emailed them to find out how much hospitality is, but not got a reply yet.

    I'll be there, have to pop up to Rickmansworth to pick the Condor up anyway so handy to make an evening of it. I did the folding race (OK, the heat....) in 2008 & 2009, couldn't make it last year, not in this year as I no longer have an eligible bike. Hilarious fun, if somewhat knackering. One mate's in that, and another is in the penny race. Now that will be something......

    I'm hoping to get along this time. Can anyone who knows the ropes recommend a good place to watch it from? Oh, and is there any BR rendez-vous point?
