PSOF Championships 2013 - Challenge Henley

Challenge have announced that next years event is on 8th September.  It clashes with our biggest event of the year and so for that reason, I'm out.

Brave of CH to take on the Bachuus head-on!

Shame they clash

Oh no, now I will need to make a decision, Bacchus or Henley Half. Simple really, but I will need to train this time, then I could cycle to and from Bacchus.

I'm going off the idea of Henley, think IMW is starting to look better for me.

I keep trying to get excited about Challenge Henley. And every time I look at it, I end up thinking "there must be a more exciting event" . Maybe I'll look again in a few days and it'll have grown on me.

FF - based on recent experience of IMW.... it has the Wow Factor. Bloody horrible but perversely enjoyable, like being waxed, cycling in hail or eating a filthy hot curry.

Saves me having to decide between the full and half I suppose 

Not going to be too difficult to win a prize at the awards ceremony afterwards if this is the Championship race 

Hmmm .. what options do we have instead ??

I would add a disclaimer that moving to Outlaw would be unfair now that entries are closed ....

Is Vichy an option do we think?

HC, are we keen for Vichy?

Here Vichy Vichy Vichy

I would think that the chances of Vichy being reduced were quite high?


Henley was chosen partly for ease of cost and travel, Vichy I think would be quite prohibitive?

That's the royal WE, I should clarify. I ain't IMing next year.

Otherwise Midnight Man it is

Looks like Vichy might be the best option after all. Steady Bacchus wouldn't be the same without you :0)

Vichy is on 1 Sep, the same day as Ch'TriMan Gravelines (and a week before Bacchus)

Said I wasn't going to go long next year anyway.

Phew!

Aren't you busy elsewhere on 28 July?

I'd think you'd need an event with a large-ish/largest number of entrants so that the following year there are results for that race to be based on?

Assuming Outlaw is out it was this year's event and as Meldy points out the fact it's now closed.

It would be difficult at this stage to change it but also just as difficult to base next years prizes on this years cast of 4 or whatever ?
