2013 Outlaw Bike Feed/Support Thread

I drove there Mouse. The roads weren't closed and there was a bit of a yard area for parking, but it depends on where they put us this year as it could well be somewhere different. If its hard to get to I'm sure between us we can work out lifts and things. A couple of people biked there so yes thats also an option. I wouldn't worry about it till we know where we will be based, especially as the bike route is being altered this year.

I rang OSB several moths before and asked the question about if you marshal do you get free swim and they said yes, but to call back nearer the time and register. This was done, all you need is to have an email account registered with OSB which you will have as you did Outlaw last year. You do have to request that you go on the pirate feed station and also request what swim distance you want to do.

Re the venue

If its the same as last year, we (Rafiki, in case the police are watching) opened a gate to a unused old farm house and everyone parked there and I don't think any of the roads where closed

i just phoned them a couple of days before and sked to go on the free swim and they sorted it

Thank you all. I just like to know 'stuff'.  Not so much focussing on the financials, more the logistics.

sadly we are not going to be at Outlaw this year - refereeing duties are keeping us close to home that weekend at the Sussex Tri Festival

have fun

Hahahaha, I forgot about the trolley!!!  I was about to put my name on the list until i remembered i'm actually running in a relay team, so best hang around transition  (in case I can't get back in time....I don't want the stress!)

Ohhhhhh yes they were    

I'm gutted that I can't make it this year.  I need to concentrate on my swimming and there is a training camp that week that I'm booked onto.  Sorry guys but this year my goals come first.

Its a fit up Guv!! I's innocent I tell you!!

But in all seriousness, this is a great weekend and a great way to meet other Pirates - and as an added bonus  Gastank won't be there this year as he getting married or some other poor excuse!

Still working out logistics and if we can move other other stuff around before we commit

Thank you to all those volunteers so far, im sure we'll have a fab time this year.

Every year we've had fantastic comments from OSB and the other athletes, its great to give something back to the sport.

I dont have much time to post at the moment as hyper busy at work but hoping that will change soon.

Count me and slower in. Only one of us on the station at a time as we will relay the ankle biters

 

 

Muffin, Mrs Stanners may well come over and help out with our 2 little ladies, it has only been 10 years after all  (doing Silent Assassin's DIY half to celebrate on our anniversary)

 that may distract too many of the lady cyclists

That's the plan.  Something to distract me from the suffering.

There will be plenty of things to distract you, cheer you up and generally keep you going at the Pirate Feed station - that's why we're the best feed station!!
